Viktor Astafyev (1924–2001) is an outstanding Russian writer, a laureate of the USSR and RSFSR State Prizes. In 1942 he volunteered for the front, and in 1943, after completing infantry school, he was sent to the front line and remained an ordinary rank-and-file soldier until the very end of the war. On the front he was awarded the Order of the Red Star and the medal “For Courage.”
What he experienced during the war—war as Viktor Astafyev saw it from the front line—became the central theme of the writer’s work. In the novel “Cursed and the Murdered” he infused it with incredible energy, the energy of resistance to untimely death. With this novel, Astafyev brought his reflections on war—war as a “crime against reason”—to a conclusion.
