The Foundation Pit is Platonov's most outspoken political book and a testimony to the darkest moments in Russian history. The events of the story take place in a specific historical-political context, that is, the era of Stalin's determination for the rapid nationalization of the Soviet Union and the establishment of nationwide agricultural communication in this country. This book is a literary masterpiece that boldly criticizes the socio-social situation of that time and presents a dusty and dark vision of the Soviet Revolution. In order to depict indescribable realities, Platonov creates such a transformation in the language of the work that the result is a two-sidedness against the ruling power and a simple and uncompromising prayer.
