 There Was a Lad (was Re: O Happy Day)
Vasily Shukshin -- no "socialist realist" and himself intimately acquainted with the reality of manual labor -- understood this fact very well.
In a scene that expresses the sympathy of director Vasily Shukshin's for such characters, Pavel shows up at the bungalow of his single middle-aged aunt with a bachelor friend, also middle-aged.
Although Vasily Shukshin was a preeminent Soviet writer and film-maker of the "rural" school (derevenschik), there is nothing romantic about his treatment of such folk.

In addition to being one of Russia's most heralded writers, Vasily Shukshin was a filmmaker, and his stories are marked by his cinematic touch.
The visual is not what interests Shukshin in these stories of rural Siberia, however, rather it is the script and the meter of life in the frozen countryside and the conversations between the peasants, young people, and estranged visitors to the town.
Shukshin's brief but remarkable life is remembered in Russia as one of legendary proportions.

 The Black Square
Anyway, I learned today in my weekly email from rbcmp3.com that there is a new Russian film, "And they woke up in the morning..." based on an unfinished novela and several stories by Vasily Makarovich Shukshin coming soon to DVD.
Unfortunately, the Shukshin's classic "Snowball Berry Red (Kalina Krasnaya)" (which he wrote, directed and acted in--that's him in the upper right photo) is still only available in VHS and the European format DVD-PAL.
I was lucky enough to see it on the big screen in a museum-theater in Moscow, and even though I couldn't understand all of it, Shukshin's portrayal of a parolled ex-con trying to reintegrate into society was incredibly moving.

 In the Steps of Jack London - Chapter 29
Those who knew Vasily Shukshin say that he frequently mentioned Jack London in literary conversations with his friends, particularly in discussions about the novel Martin Eden.

Critics are convinced that Shukshin sought, like Martin Eden, "an impassioned realism, shot through with human aspiration and faith.

 MSN Encarta - Russian Literature
One of the most interesting literary trends of the 1960s and 1970s was derevenskaia proza (country prose or village prose).
Writers such as Vasily Belov, Vladimir Soloukhin, Vasily Shukshin, Valentin Rasputin, and others turned away from the standard subjects and methods of socialist realism to write sympathetically of life in rural, often isolated areas.
The characters in their stories and sketches are typically misfits who are alienated from modern urban life, or who have simply been bypassed in the Soviet regime’s rush to develop a modern industrialized and planned society.
