Shmelev’s best prerevolutionary prose works showed a profound knowledge of city life and popular language; they employed the narrative technique of oral folktales. The novellas Collapse (1907), Citizen Ukleikin (1908), and The Man From the Restaurant (1911), which was the most significant of the three, were written in the traditional style of critical realism.

“Русские - народ, который ненавидит волю, обожествляет рабство, любит оковы на своих руках и ногах, любит своих кровавых деспотов, не чувствует никакой красоты, грязный физически и морально, столетиями живёт в темноте, мракобесии, и пальцем не пошевелил к чему-то человеческому, но готовый всегда неволить, угнетать всех и вся, весь мир. Это не народ, а историческое проклятие человечества.”
Ivan Shmelev
