to the war process is expressed. It also reflected the conflict between the younger generation sent
to war and the representatives o f the government who sent them to the front. The ruling circles,
which are supposed to be "they", are shown as the main cause o f the tragedy o f young people in
the front. This is also important with the feature o f exposing sentences. In this way, the novel
"All Quiet on the Western Front" reflects the visions experienced on the front o f young people
who were deceived by the ruling circles and sent to war, their attitude to war and the evolutions
in their minds. The novel is told from the language o f the protagonist Paul Boymer. Paul's past
reflects the experience o f a whole generation involved in the war. Boymer and his friends are
described as young people whose worldview has changed as a result o f the war, thinking about
life as old people. The longer the hero lives in the war, the more he hates and suffers from such a
life. Also in this novel is described a "cliff, which appeared due to the war between the two
generations. The writer assesses the beating as an injustice committed against the younger
generation. This attitude o f the author is expressed through the experiences o f the heroes. The
concept o f "enemy", which the author interprets, requires special attention in this novel.
A.Pokhalenkov, focusing on this issue in his candidacy dissertation, which he chose in 2011,
emphasizes that from the very first stage o f Remark's creation, he emphasized the notion o f the
enemy: "in Remark's creation, both "military enemy" and "ideological enemy" appearances are
reflected in the novel "All Quiet on the Western Front", one o f the first major works "[5,11]. In
the novel, When Paul Boymer and his friends talk about enemies, they mean their high-ranking
leaders, and not the soldiers on the other side. The heroes o f the work see their bosses much
worse than the Franks, who are "military enemies". Especially important in this regard are the
images o f Kantorek and Khimmelshtoss. Kantorek is a school teacher, Boymer and his
classmates, among which the whole school brought up teenage boys in a chauvinistic spirit,
under false patriotism ideas, personage, who supplied young soldiers to the front through
ideological propaganda. And khimmelshtoss is a small officer who teaches them military
exercises before sending these "trained" young people to the front. In the novel, Kantorek and
Khimmelshtoss are interpreted as typical representatives o f the state, which mobilized German
youth for war. But the attitude o f the young soldiers who saw the war to them is described in a
negative way. They often remember Kantorek and have a critical attitude towards him. They beat
khimmelshtoss by the moment. In the ninth chapter o f the novel, the meeting of the soldiers with
the Kaiser is described. Here in the process, thoughts about the war, which were told from the
Katchinsky language, determine one o f the main ideas o f the work: "...true, but it should be taken
into account that we are ordinary people. In France, too, there are a lot o f workers, craftsmen and
petty servants. But did any French locksmith or kosibi attack us? No such work will be solved in
the government office. I did not meet any frantic until I got here, they did not see German either.
Just like us, no one asked them." (...Richtig, aber bedenk doch mal, dafi wir fa st alle einfache
