Features: Both "On the Eve of the Revolution" and "Fathers and Sons" are among the representative works of the great Russian writer Ivan Turgenev. "On the Eve of the Revolution" reflects the "eve of reform." In the summer of 1853, two aristocratic young men, Shubin and Birshenev, engaged in aimless chatter by the Moscow River, gradually discussing love and the fact that both had secretly fallen in love with the long-haired girl Elena. Elena was a compassionate, idealistic girl. This passionate, upright, self-sacrificing, and beautiful Russian girl fell in love with a Bulgarian youth who dedicated himself to liberating his homeland. She defied her parents' opposition and married him. She was determined to dedicate herself to the liberation of Bulgaria. Although her husband died on their way back to Bulgaria, she remained loyal to her beliefs and set off alone for Bulgaria.
