Description
Yuri V. Bondarev is a well-known Russian writer who fought during the war at Stalingrad, in Poland, and on the border with Czechoslovakia. In the novella "The Battalions Request Fire," the Great Patriotic War is shown through the eyes of a Russian soldier; it is the naked truth about war. The writer raised the question of the means by which victory was achieved. Is it permissible to sacrifice the lives of individual people for a common goal? Can such sacrifices be justified?
