Description
Yuri Vasilyevich Bondarev (1924–2020) — a well-known Russian writer, screenwriter, and public figure who fought in the years of the Great Patriotic War near Stalingrad and took part in the liberation of Kyiv and Zhytomyr.
The events of his novella “Battalions Ask for Fire” take place in Ukraine in 1943. Two battalions are given the order to occupy a bridgehead during the crossing of the Dnipro and to provide an artillery signal for the further offensive.
However, the next order from the command already read: “Hold on to the death with your own firepower…”
An honest, true, and uncompromising account of the fates of ordinary soldiers who gave their lives in the name of the Great Victory.
In “The Last Salvos,” tense battles in the spring of 1945 in the Carpathians are described, on the approaches to the border with Czechoslovakia. The main characters are young artillerymen who, despite exhaustion, стойко fight the enemy, blocking the way of a German formation.
This powerful work is about courage, duty, and the price of victory in the final days of the Great Patriotic War.
