Aleksey Larsky, in the role of Alexei Peshkov, literary scholars believe that the “autobiographical” trilogy of Gorky “childhood”, “in people” and “my universities” is considered a reliable description of the writer’s life in the early years. These are not artistic texts, and real events here are largely distorted by Gorky’s imagination. The context also influenced these novels, the fact that the texts were created in the revolutionary era, taking into account new circumstances and requests of society.

Gorky mythologized the stories of the Peshkov and Kashirins families, and the main character - Alyosha Peshkov - is not always identified with Gorky. In addition to the characters and events that have a real basis and are based on Gorky’s memoirs about childhood, the text has many fictional episodes and heroes. It is impossible to consider the story in the literal sense of the writer's biography.

The monument to Alyosha Peshkov in Nizhny Novgorod in the courtyard of the Childhood Museum Maxim Gorky was erected a monument to Alesha Peshkov, which depicts the writer himself in childhood with a book in his hands.

This “part -time job” brought money tiny, so Alyosha began to steal firewood in forest warehouses. The hero becomes a street boy and leads friends among others of the same rabbits. Such a life is much more to the liking of Alyosha than life in the family. On the street, the hero felt independent and felt sympathy for his comrades, who constantly wanted to "do something good." The boys lived together and did not fight each other.
