About the book: 2007 / The novel "Soldiers of Steel" is part of the "Ice Age" series and is the first by design, although novels from the same series have already been published "Aphrodite's Cup" and "Vestal Virgin". The author’s goal was by no means to create another chronological book about Stalin and his atrocities - neither from the position of a Prosecutor, nor from the position of a Lawyer, nor even from the position of a Judge. “Soldiers of Steel” is a work of fiction, these are precisely the pages of the life of both Stalin himself and of that recently past, inherently strange time. The ice age that began in Russia in 1917, with the violent establishment of the utopias of Marxism-Leninism in it, has not ended even now. Mammoths and saber-toothed tigers still roam it. The ice is melting, but there is still a lot of cold and washed-out mud - enough for a long time.
