Nikolai Alexeyevich Ostrovsky (1904-1936) was a Soviet writer and participant in the Civil War. At fifteen, Ostrovsky joins the Komsomol and immediately goes to the front as a volunteer. "It was so that together with a Komsomol ticket we received a rifle and two hundred rounds of ammunition." A young fighter with simmering energy, he quickly becomes an organizer of the Komsomol in the units of the Red Army. After a severe wound in the back Nikolai Ostrovsky returns to a full life. He enters the Kiev electrical school, then the technical school, works as an assistant electrician. Young Ostrovsky always strived to be where the Motherland needed most of all. At the Komsomol construction of the railway line in Kiev Nikolai caught a bad cold and fell ill with typhoid fever. At the age of eighteen Ostrovsky was recognized as an invalid, but continued to work hard. His novel "How the Steel Was Tempered" (1934) Ostrovsky wrote, being bedridden. It became an autobiography of the writer. Ostrovsky's difficult condition did not prevent him from creating the most famous and readable work of Soviet literature. The events of the novel unfold against the background of the Civil War (1917-1922); it shows the formation of socialism in the country, the restoration of the national economy. The protagonist, Pavel Korchagin, became an example of courage and strength of the human spirit for many generations.
