Chapter 1

Senior Lieutenant Galtsev, who temporarily acted as the battalion commander, was awakened in the middle of the night. Near the shore, a boy was detained, who demanded to take him to the headquarters to the commander.

Galtsev saw in front of him "all blue from the cold and shivering" a thin boy of about eleven. To the lieutenant's stern questions, he only answered that his surname was Bondarev, and insistently demanded that he be informed of his arrival at the headquarters. Galtsev refused to do this, and only when the boy named the names of staff officers did he believe him.

Lieutenant Colonel Gryaznov confirmed: "This is our guy." The boy took out “grains of wheat and rye, sunflower seeds and needles” from a handkerchief, carefully counted them and wrote down the data on a piece of paper, which he urgently sent to the headquarters.

Chapter 2

Ivan could not fall asleep in any way, and all the time he was interested in Galtsev whether his message was delivered or not. Soon a "tall, dark-haired handsome man" Kholin appeared, who met Ivan as an old friend. The boy told him that because of the Germans he could not get to the boat, and was forced to swim across the Dnieper from another village. It was a great miracle that “on a stormy night, in cold October water,” he was able to cross the river.

Kholin brought Ivan clean clothes. When the boy changed clothes, Galtsev noticed that the tunic was "with the Order of the Patriotic War, a brand new medal" For Courage "". Having refreshed themselves, Ivan and Kholin left by car.

Chapter 3

Three days later, foreman Katasonov came to Galtsev, who asked to "look at the German" from the observation post. He said that, on the orders of the commander, Vanyushka was sent to "Suvorov's school", but he refused. The boy, whose soul was corroded by a terrible hatred for the invaders, wanted to win the whole war as a scout.

Galtsev went around, accompanied by Kholin, who pushed him away with his unceremoniousness. They went to the battalion first-aid post, where a new paramedic arrived - "a stately, about twenty, beautiful blonde with bright blue eyes." Noticing Galtsev's interest in the girl, Kholin began to hurt him in every possible way.

Chapters 4

Vanya arrived, looking "refreshed and healthier". He surprised Galtsev with his talkativeness and friendliness. This time, Katasonov and Kholin were supposed to "send the boy across the Dnieper to the rear of the Germans." However, Ivan did not think to worry - he ate candy and looked at magazines. He really liked Galtsev's knife, but he could not give it to the boy, because it was a memory of a friend.

From Katasonov, Galtsev learned that Vanya's father, a border guard, died on the very first day of the war. The tiny sister was killed right in the arms of the boy, and he knew nothing about the fate of his mother.

Galtsev wanted to join the scouts, but Kholin refused him. When it became known that Katasonov was urgently summoned by the division commander, Galtsev took his place. None of them knew yet that Katasonov had been killed.

Chapter 5

After dinner, Kholin laid out the map and brought Galtsev up to date. After careful preparation, they went to perform the operation.

Chapter 6

Having safely crossed the river, the scouts hid the boat. Vanya, purposely dressed in old rags, left his senior comrades and disappeared into the darkness.

Chapter 7

Having released the boy, Kholin and Galtsev hid in ambush. Soon the Germans passed dangerously close to them. Galtsev had a "need, the need to kill them immediately", and only thanks to the cold-blooded and restrained Kholin did he not betray their presence. When the Germans withdrew, the scouts returned to their own.

Kholin said that Ivan "needs to walk more than fifty kilometers", and at every step he could stumble upon a German patrol. He was very worried about the fate of the boy, who, in case of danger, no one could come to the rescue.

Chapter 8

Galtsev ordered from a local craftsman exactly the same Finn that Vanya liked. He wanted, at an opportunity, to hand over the knife, if not to the boy himself, then at least to Lieutenant Colonel Gryaznov. Soon the opportunity presented itself to him. From the lieutenant colonel, he learned that Ivan returned from the mission alive and unharmed. After the boy was sent to study at the school, but he left without permission. Galtsev asked to give Vanya a finka, to which Gryaznov replied that he had "a dozen of these knives, no less." The lieutenant colonel did not want to go into details about the little scout - "the less they talk about them and the less people know about them, the longer they live."

Chapter 9

A severe wound led to the fact that Galtsev became "became" limited fit "" and was sent to Berlin "to seize German archives and documents." Among miraculously preserved documents, Galtsev discovered a photo of Vanya. The report said that a schoolboy was detained, "observing the movement of echelons" in the restricted area. During the arrest, he resisted fiercely, and after interrogation he was shot.

Conclusion

With his work, Vladimir Bogomolov wanted to say that war is the hardest test, especially for children who had to share all the hardships of wartime on an equal footing with adults.

The young senior lieutenant Galtsev, the acting battalion commander, was awakened in the middle of the night. A boy of about twelve was detained near the shore, all wet and shivering from the cold. To Galtsev's strict questions, the boy only answers that his surname is Bondarev, and demands that he be immediately informed of his arrival at the headquarters. But Galtsev, not immediately believing, reports about the boy only when he correctly names the staff officers. Lieutenant Colonel Gryaznov really confirms: "This is our guy," he needs to "create all the conditions" and "treat more delicately." As ordered, Galtsev gives the boy paper and ink. He pours it out on the table and intently counts the grains of their pine needles. The received data is urgently sent to the headquarters. Galtsev feels guilty for yelling at the boy, now he is ready to take care of him. Kholin arrives, a tall handsome man and a joker of about twenty-seven. Ivan (that's the boy's name) tells his friend how he couldn't approach the boat that was waiting for him because of the Germans and how he crossed the cold Dnieper on a log with difficulty. On the uniform brought to Ivan Kholin, the Order of the Patriotic War and the medal "For Courage". After a joint meal, Kholin and the boy leave. After some time, Galtsev meets Ivan again. First, the quiet and modest foreman Katasonich appears in the battalion. From the observation posts, he "watches the German", spending the whole day at the stereo tube. Then Kholin, together with Galtsev, inspects the area and trenches. The Germans on the other side of the Dnieper constantly keep our bank at gunpoint. Galtsev should "provide all possible assistance" to Kholin, but he does not want to "run" after him. Galtsev goes about his business, checking the work of the new paramedic, trying not to pay attention to the fact that he is facing a beautiful young woman. Ivan arrived unexpectedly friendly and talkative. Tonight he will have to cross to the German rear, but he does not even think of sleeping, but reads magazines, eats candy. The boy is admired by the Finn Galtsev, but he cannot give Ivan a knife - after all, this is the memory of his dead best friend. Finally, Galtsev learns more about the fate of Ivan Buslov (this is the real name of the boy). He comes from Gomel. His father and sister died in the war. Ivan had to go through a lot: he was in the partisans, and in Trostyanets - in the death camp. Lieutenant Colonel Gryaznov persuaded Ivan to go to the Suvorov School, but he only wants to fight and take revenge. Kholin "didn't even think that a child could hate so much ...". And when they decided not to send Ivan on a mission, he left on his own. What this boy can do, and adult scouts rarely succeed. It was decided that if Ivan's mother was not found after the war, Katasonich or a lieutenant colonel would adopt him. Kholin says that Katasonich was unexpectedly called to the division. Ivan is childishly offended: why didn’t he come to say goodbye? In fact, Katasonich had just been killed. Now the third will be Galtsev. Of course, this is a violation, but Galtsev, who had previously asked to take him on reconnaissance, decides. Having carefully prepared, Kholin, Ivan and Galtsev go to the operation. Having crossed the river, they hide the boat. Now the boy has a difficult and very risky task: to quietly pass fifty kilometers behind German lines. Just in case, he is dressed as a "homeless rogue". Insuring Ivan, Kholin and Galtsev spend about an hour in ambush, and then return back. Galtsev orders for Ivan exactly the same finca as the one he liked. After some time, having met with Gryaznov, Galtsev, already approved in the position of battalion commander, asks to pass the knife to the boy. But it turns out that when it was finally decided to send Ivan to the school, he left without permission. Gryaznov reluctantly says to the little boy: the less people know about the "zakordonniks", the longer they live. But Galtsev cannot forget about the little scout. After being seriously wounded, he ends up in Berlin to capture the German archives. In the documents found by the secret field police, Galtsev suddenly discovers a photo with a familiar high-cheeked face and wide-set eyes. The report says that in December 1943, after fierce resistance, "Ivan" was detained, who was watching the movement of German trains in the forbidden zone. After interrogations, during which the boy "behaved defiantly", he was shot.

Title of the work: Ivan

Year of writing: 1958

Genre of work: story

Main characters: Ivan Bondarev- a twelve-year-old boy Galtsev- lieutenant of the Soviet army, Choline- soldier.

Plot

The story begins with the discovery by the army of a boy off the banks of the Dnieper. The story takes place during the Great Patriotic War. It turns out that Ivan is a young scout. He even swam across the river for the assignment. Lieutenant Galtsev at first could not believe this and unflatteringly accepted the boy. But soon he regretted it and changed his mind. He was treated differently, but often appreciated for his bravery. Kholin soon arrived and presented Ivan with a uniform and awards for excellent service. They leave together. As it turned out, Ivan's family died in the war, so he decided to take revenge on his enemies by helping the Red Army. The author also draws pictures of the boy's games. He still remained a child, the war is not his business. Ivan collected information on the Nazis. In the end, the young soldier was arrested and shot by the Germans.

Conclusion (my opinion)

War and children should not intersect in reality. They should be busy with games, education, and not terrible things. Horrors crippled the soul of innocent people. At the same time, courage, feats will be valued for all eternity. The story prompts to thank the veterans for their steadfastness and freedom. Bogomolov admires the love for the homeland of the children of war. They are capable of a lot and their contribution to the victory is very large.
