Theme of the work

How Steel is Made is a masterpiece of Soviet socialist literature, and its main achievement is the creation of Paul Kochagin as an artistic model. The author strictly follows the reality of life when portraying this character, and does not regard Paul's strong will and strong character as innate, but believes that it is tempered in heroic battles and hard labor, in hard study and strict self-discipline.
