Hard trials fall to the DNR State Security special forces soldier, and now an NKVD lieutenant, Viktor Rakitin—his regiment is sent to Stalingrad at the height of the fighting for the city. NKVD troops are Stalin’s personal guard! In the summer and autumn of the fateful 1942 year, the fascists learned this: the fighters never retreated without orders; like everyone in the Battle of Stalingrad, they fought until the last cartridge, until the last drop of blood. The 10th Rifle Division of NKVD troops fought steadfastly across almost the entire Stalingrad Front, and by November 1942 only an incomplete regiment remained of it. But besides victory in the war, Viktor has another goal: to reach the ancestors of today’s Bandera people and burn their forest bunkers to the ground.
