Abstract
The article examines the features of artistic representation of the main theme of Russian literature, "family idea" and its relationship with historical 53 time in the story "Chuk and Gek" by A.P. Gaidar (1904-1941). The author gives a critical review of the latest scientific receptions of this story, in which the family theme is considered in a historical context, selectively determined by political markers, which leads to the perception of the work as a utopian literary project. The article offers a contextual analysis of the story "Chuk and Gek", where the military theme (events of big and small history) comes to the foreground, which is associated with all of Gaidar’s works and which makes a significant impact in the content of the text in vivid and expressive details. It is shown how Gaidar’s fairy tale form of narration dissolves elements of a fairy tale narrative without destroying the realistic authenticity of the depicted world of the story. It is claimed that in the story "Chuk and Gek", as in many of Gaidar’s later works, imbued with a premonition of a great war, "family idea" is inextricably linked with "state idea".
