ABSTRACT:
This article analyses the characters in the autobiographical work of Belykh and Panteleev’s “Republic of ShKID” and Makarenko’s work “Pedagogical poem” in a way that the educators in both works are regarded as positive hero and on the other hand the pupils as orphan hero of the Soviet literature. Both of these literary works are considered to be a part of the pedagogical theme of socialist realism. This paper will focus not on the pedagogical success or the failure of the educators, but rather on the idea of literary hero that affiliate with the features of the character in these works. The two literary works are compared in order to highlight the traits of a positive hero that are compatible with the traits of the characters in both works and the distinctive features of the orphan hero in these two literary works are also discussed to foreground the characteristics of the stray children in both works. The orphan hero is discussed in a way that the social orphanhood is the related content of these two literary works and the development of the children’s morale and actions to become a ‘new person’ reflect the image of orphan hero of this literary content.
