"It is better to pound the ribs of a hundred innocents than to miss one guilty one" - this was the fate of the era in which millions of Ukrainians lived in the 1930s, and it is this tragic experience that Ivan Bagryanyi portrays in his novel "The Garden of Getsimanskiy". On the example of Andriy Chumak's life, the author demonstrates in detail how the thoroughly repressive machinery of the Radian system worked, how this system ponievolved and demolished people regardless of their achievements, walk, age or status.

A doctor, a singer, a director of a gymnasium - your past is not of little importance in your life: even if you have achieved something, you are still at the very bottom. Ivan Bagryanyi is convinced that the fight against evil is necessary even when it seems that there is no sense to fight further, and the remaining choice always depends on a person.
