“Complete concentration of Soviet troops on the German border was planned for July 10” (Army General S. P. Ivanov, “The Initial Period of the War,” p. 211). Such references are found at every step in the scandalous works of V. Suvorov (V. B. Rezun). However, how many people actually rushed to the library to find out what was written on page 211 of the specified book? Isn’t the bold theory just a clever hoax, built on juggling numbers and quotations? The author of “Anti-Suvorov” took on the task of checking V. B. Rezun’s references, their context, and their actual meaning, thereby restoring the real picture of events from previously classified documents.
The book is an analysis of V. Suvorov’s theory (V. B. Rezun), which claims that the tragic events of 1941 were the result of a planned “liberation campaign” into Europe. A. Isaev analyzes the facts and quotations presented by Sуворов, their reliability, and their interpretation. Alongside refuting the premises of the “intelligence analyst,” the author, in a popular form, sets out the viewpoint of modern historical science on the reasons for the USSR’s failures in the initial period of the war, describing the use of various types of military equipment.
