Chapayev, written while Soviet literature was yet in its infancy, has become a heroic epic of the socialist revolution. A novel about the gifted and popular Civil War hero and commander Vasily Ivanovich Chapayev (1887-1919) - about the role of the Party in educating the people in the communist spirit.

Dmitry Furmanov, the commissar of the Chapayev Division, wrote his novel drawing largely on his diaries, personal observations, reminiscences of his contemporaries, and historical archives. But the documentary truth of Chapayev did not restrict the ideological and artistic merits of the novel: Furmanov created a work of immense capacity, far-reaching generalizations, a book about the revolutionary people - creator of their own history and their own heroes.
