A wide use of artistic means used by Averchenko renders his collection of stories very emotional and varied. The satirist uses many antitheses, epithets, metaphors, repetitions, onomatopoeiae, dialogues, rhetorical questions, exclamatory sentences, etc. to depict how fast the whole post-revolutionary life was being destroyed in Russia.
