About the book: 2015 / Attempts to rewrite the history of the Great Patriotic War began to arise immediately after its end. But a special tendency to change it appeared in the post-Soviet period. One of the reasons is that in recent years many participants in the Great Patriotic War, raised in the patriotic traditions of their ancestors, have left us. At the same time, human values ​​and moral guidelines, based on money-grubbing and corruption, have changed dramatically. The best qualities of our people have begun to be forgotten, such as talent, hard work, love for Russia. The task of this book is to use the heroic examples of our fathers and grandfathers to educate a modern, educated and healthy generation, ready at any moment, following their example, to stand up for the defense of the Fatherland .The book includes more than 500 photographs and battle maps. The publication is intended for historians, researchers, the army and a wide range of readers.
