The Sentry by Nikolai Leskov — Review

In the story “The Sentry” by Nikolai Leskov, the soldier is standing guard in a sentry box at the palace, and then he hears cries for help - a man is drowning nearby. What to do? He can’t leave his post... But he can’t abandon a person either... What choice will the sentry make and how will he respond to him?...

This is a small story with a lot of meaning.

Here is the link to the text of the story:
