Kalinin by Maxim Gorky — Review

In the story “Kalinin” Maxim Gorky tries to prove to readers that the basis of human consciousness is not based on physical instincts but based on some ideals embedded in them by Nature or by God himself.

In addition, the author tries to explain the natural tendency of some people towards laziness and indifference, on which the ideas of anarchism are based such as “give up everything” and live without any obligations to anyone.
