The acquaintance with a Soviet party leader and politician B. E. Kalmykov made a signifi cant impact on the worldview and work of M. M. Prishvin in the mid-1930s. The writer even intended to make him the key fi gure of his novel — a fighter for national happiness who leads the Soviet Kabardino-Balkaria to Socialism; the alleged title of the work, "The Happy Mountain", is most indicative.
