Yukamenskoye, edited the district newspaper "Drummer". Konovalov had a sharpened sense of the new, saw the main line of development of literature in solving urgent problems of reality, in the study of the past. His essays on the advanced people of the collective farm village were distinguished by the liveliness of the narrative, the color of the descriptions, memorable portrait characteristics.

His first significant artistic work was the story “Lizi” “Lizonka”, it was the writer’s response to the collectivization of the Udmurt village. Lizi anticipated the image of Lina in the novel “Face with Shram” - the first in Udmurt literature of a large work on the industrialization of the national economy and the formation of national personnel of the working class. The novel claimed the ideal of a positive hero of the communist, a man with a high class consciousness, a worker, a bearer of new moral norms in everyday life.

Mikhail Konovalov created the first Udmurt novel about the working class a person with the shram "Wusso Bam". Pictures of the collective labor of Russians, Udmurts - leading in the work. The Hungarian literary critic Peter Domokosh notes that the work is built by the type of “Decameron”, resembling a detective novel in composition.

The intrigue of the novel is that the “brothers” conflict: Dubov and Nushin Nushin Nushin blackmail Dubov with the origin from the gendarm family. Dubov leaves the parental house, he is a real positive hero, a responsive, gentle, excellent football player; Nushin, with a merciless father, turns into a monster, tortures the reds, with deceit penetrates the factory, he impudently and assertive in relations to women the story of Lina.

The main characters of the novel are people who are actively comprehending their actions, builders of the future of the country: Dubov, Radin, Lina, Mikhailov; Nushin's allies: loafers, loales, fists - Ryabov, Vakhtin, Heria, Bakhtin; Heroes who have to “grow” - ringing, gondyr create problems.

One of the most characteristic features of the novel is the likening of heroes to animals. At one time, the Udmurt writer M. Lamin reproached the author that the voices of almost all heroes were compared with the voices of pets: either they laugh and shine.

The conventionality of the characters in the novel intensifies due to the fact that, instead of heroes similar to animals, heroes-living heroes so fighting, Nushin and his wife, turn into a description of the actions of the wolf and hare.
