About the book: 2015 / Stanislav Borisovich Kitaysky (1938–2014) - a famous Siberian writer and public figure. Born far to the west, in the Khmelnitsky region, Stanislav Kitaisky devoted his entire adult life and work to the Irkutsk land, studying its past and creating the present. The novel “Battlefield” was published in 1973, but the problems posed by the author in it remain pressing to this day. And the main one is the memory of generations, the memory of those to whom we owe our lives, who defended our future. Civil war is always scary. But in Siberia it blazed with particular cruelty and intransigence, when yesterday’s friends suddenly became enemies overnight, and heroes turned into traitors. This happened with the red partisan Cherepakhin and his wife. For two long years the Cherepakhins fought against Kolchak’s White Guards, and now they are at the head of a dangerous gang that hates Soviet power. But life put everything in its place!..
