2024 marks the 95th anniversary of the birth of Vasily Shukshin (1929-1974) and Fazil Iskander (1929-2016). This anniversary is a good reason not only to remember both writers, but also to compare their creative paths, to find common and different things in them. The proposed essay, which has an 75 anniversary character, outlines those key points that, on the one hand, allow us to talk about the artistic and biographical community between Iskander and Shukshin, and on the other hand, help to realize the aesthetic uniqueness of each of them.
