About "Turkina"

A graduate student boasts on our forum about the success of school exams in literature:

“Yes, it was business today. Do you know what I wrote about? I wrote about "Vasily Turkina". In general, it is not difficult: 6 hours, 12 pages of a draft and 9 pages of a copy. It was something !!!! "
