The story of Andrei Platonov's return is a summary. A.P. Platonov. Return (In abbreviation) - Hypermarket of knowledge. Other retellings and reviews for the reader's diary
After serving the entire war, Guard Captain Alexei Alekseevich Ivanov leaves the army for demobilization. At the station, waiting for the train for a long time, he meets a girl, Masha, the daughter of a spaceman, who served in the dining room of their unit. For two days they travel together, and for another two days Ivanov stays in the city where Masha was born twenty years ago. In parting, Ivanov kisses Masha, remembering forever that her hair smells like “fallen autumn leaves in the forest.”
A day later, Ivanov's son Petrushka meets him at the train station in his hometown. He was already in his twelfth year, and the father did not immediately recognize his child in a serious teenager. His wife Lyubov Vasilievna is waiting for them on the porch of the house. Ivanov hugs his wife, feeling the forgotten and familiar warmth of a loved one. The daughter, little Nastya, does not remember her father and is crying. Parsley pulls her back: “This is our father, he is our relatives!” The family begins to prepare a festive treat. Everyone is commanded by Petrushka - Ivanov is surprised at how grown-up and old-man's wise his son is. But he likes the little meek Nastya more. Ivanov asks his wife how they lived here without him. Lyubov Vasilievna is shy of her husband, like a bride: she has lost the habit of him. Ivanov feels with shame that something is preventing him from rejoicing with all his heart at the return - after many years of separation, he cannot immediately understand even the most dear people.
The family is sitting at the table. The father sees that the children eat little. When the son indifferently explains: “And I want you to get more,” the parents, shuddering, exchange glances. Nastya hides a piece of the pie - "for Uncle Semyon." Ivanov asks his wife who this Uncle Semyon is. Lyubov Vasilievna explains that the Germans killed Semyon Evseevich's wife and children, and he asked them to go to play with the children, and they saw nothing bad from him, but only good ... Listening to her, Ivanov smiles unkindly and lights up. Petrushka manages the household, tells his father that he should be on allowance tomorrow - and Ivanov feels his timidity in front of his son.
In the evening after dinner, when the children go to bed, Ivanov asks his wife for details of the life she spent without him. Petrushka overhears, he feels sorry for his mother. This conversation is painful for both - Ivanov is afraid of confirming his suspicions of his wife's infidelity, but she frankly admits that she had nothing with Semyon Evseevich. She was waiting for her husband and only loved him. Only once, “when her soul was completely dying,” one person became close to her, an instructor from the district committee, but she regretted that she had allowed him to be close. She realized that only with her husband can she be calm and happy. “Without you, I have nowhere to go, I can’t save myself for the children ... Live with us, Alyosha, we will be fine!” - says Lyubov Vasilievna. Petrushka hears her father groaning and crunching the glass of the lamp. “You hurt me in the heart, and I am also a person, not a toy ...” In the morning Ivanov gets ready. Petrushka tells him everything about their hard life without him, how his mother was waiting for him, and he arrived, and his mother was crying. The father is angry with him: “Yes, you still don’t understand anything!” “You don't understand yourself. We have things to do, we have to live, and you swear, how stupid you are ... ”And Petrushka tells a story about Uncle Khariton, whom his wife was cheating on, and they also swore, and then Khariton said that he also had a lot of things at the front, and he and his wife laughed and reconciled, although Khariton invented everything about his betrayals ... Ivanov listens to this story with surprise.
He leaves in the morning for the station, drinks vodka and takes the train to go to Masha, whose hair smells like nature. At home, Petrushka, waking up, sees only Nastya - her mother has gone to work. After asking Nastya how his father left, he thinks for a minute, dresses his sister and leads her along.
Ivanov is standing in the vestibule of a train that passes near his house. At the crossing, he sees figurines of children - the one who is larger quickly drags the smaller one behind him, who does not have time to touch with his legs. Ivanov already knows that these are his children. They are far behind, and Petrushka is still dragging the sluggish Nastya behind her. Ivanov throws his duffel bag on the ground, descends to the lower step of the car and gets off the train "to that sandy path along which his children ran after him."

Ivanov is standing in the vestibule of a train that passes near his house. At the crossing, he sees figurines of children - the one who is larger quickly drags the smaller one behind him, who does not have time to touch with his legs. Ivanov already knows that these are his children. They are far behind, and Petrushka is still dragging the sluggish Nastya behind her. Ivanov throws his duffel bag on the ground, descends to the bottom step of the car and gets off the train "to that sandy path along which his children ran after him."
The story "Return" begins with the captain of the guard, Alexei Alekseevich Ivanov, returning to his home after demobilization from the army. Arriving at the station and waiting for the train, the captain meets a beautiful girl, Masha. She was only twenty years old. She was the daughter of a porter and worked in the canteen. Ivanov liked Mashenka very much. After spending two days together on the train, the former soldier wanted to stay for a couple of days in Masha's hometown. When Ivanov said goodbye to the girl, he kissed her and remembered how her hair smelled like autumn fallen leaves.
A day later, the captain arrives in his hometown, where his son Petrushka meets him at the station. The boy was already twelve years old, and at first the father did not recognize his child in the serious young man. Ivanov's wife Lyubov Vasilievna was waiting on the porch of the house. The captain hugged her tightly, while feeling the familiar warmth and smell of a loved one. At that moment, Ivanov's daughter Nastya began to cry, not recognizing her father, and Petrushka began to calm her down. Then the family begins to prepare dinner, in which the twelve-year-old boy was the most important. Ivanov was surprised at him, but he liked Nastenka more. The captain of the guard began to ask his wife about their life without him, but she, having weaned from her husband, began to be shy. Alexei understands that something is preventing him from enjoying his return home and that after many years, he cannot understand his relatives. Already sitting at the table, the father sees that his children eat little, to which Petrushka replied: "I want you to get more." Then the parents shuddered and began to look at each other. At this time, Nastenka hid a piece of cake for Uncle Semyon. Ivanov began to ask his wife who he was, and she told him that this man had lost all his relatives. Semyon also asked Lyubov Vasilievna to play with her children. Listening to his wife, the captain began to smile badly. At this time, Petrushka indicates to his father that he should be allowed, and the captain of the guard felt timid in front of his son.
After dinner, the children went to bed, and let Alexei ask his wife how she lived without him all this time. He was afraid that his suspicions about the betrayal of his wife would be justified. Lyubov Alekseevna said that they had nothing to do with Semyon, but once she succumbed to the temptation with the district committee instructor. But she regrets it. Meanwhile, Petrushka was eavesdropping on everything. And when the father is about to leave, he keeps telling him how difficult it was for them without him and that other people also quarrel, but reconcile, because they have no one left but themselves. The captain listened with surprise to his son, but still decides to leave.
