| "Cursed Days" is a reflections of the author's perception of Russia and the Russian people, written down in diary format. Bunin has marked the days of revolution and the civil war as "cursed", and has described everything that was happening around him in the first days of 1918 till June, 1919. He writes about the revolution, about people and about the great fall of Russia. He notices how everything, which took centuries to build is being destroyed with the arrival of the Soviet authority, and gives us the sense of national catastrophe. Any revolutionary is just a gangster for him. His hatred toward the "red" is boundless. This is a book of anathema, atonements and revenge, about author's longing for the beauty of life, which exists no more. In his "Cursed Days" Bunin has managed to communicate the pain of his exile and the burning hatred, which was spread in Russia during the days of the revolution.
