In his clearly pacifistic and anti-war book, a contemporary Russian writer Oleg Yermakov
projects such an image of war which at a mythological level could be compared to the vision
of hell. The main topic of the book is signalled through its title and motto, taken from the Book
of Revelation (14:11): “And the smoke of their torment will rise for ever and ever. There will
be no rest day or night for those who worship the beast and its image”.
The beast found in the novel is a personification of war, which in the writer’s view is unhuman
and pointless. By combining in his writing visual and acoustic effects, as well as by making
use of biblical symbols, Yermakov creates a universal space of evil. The space mentioned
is composed of ideas of emptiness, ideological void, world without God, death, recurrence
of phenomena which bears the signs of eternity, endlessness. The universal nature of the
problem discussed was signalled through setting the plot in unspecified space and time.
Anonymity and typicality are the dominant features. The writer is concerned with human
reaction to evil, degradation of personality of one consciously taking part in war, the notion
of complicity, and responsibility for one’s actions.
