The novel “The Surroundings” was published in 1929 by the Ukrainian writer Leonid Pervomaysky. This psychological work explores the issues of women's dignity, the role of women in society at that time, sexual relations, obituary stupidity and responsibility. The novel presents a gallery of images of the era: misfits, careerist Komsomolets, shabby white emigrant, superstitious grandmothers and others. The novel takes place in the conditional city of Pustograd. The main character, 39-year-old mill worker Tikhon Amosovich, decides to get married after many years of accumulating money and dreaming about this event. The plot revolves around a love quadrangle with three contenders: Orisei - a sexually accessible, but ugly girl; Faith - a poor orphan-full; and Maria - a beautiful girl with a destroyed psyche after experiencing bullying. Regarding the literary group "Avangard", it was founded in Kharkov in the autumn of 1925 after the collapse of the "Garth". This constructivist group united left-wing writers close to futurism, led by Valerian Polishchuk. Thus, the novel "The Neighborhoods" is not directly related to the group "Avant-garde", but reflects literary trends and social issues of the late 1920s in Ukraine.
