On the Graves of Russian Soldiers

On May 9, our country will mark another sorrowful—and at the same time joyful—date: Victory Day. Unfortunately, each year there are fewer and fewer living witnesses to all the horrors of the Second World War. Now it is our duty to pass the truth about those events on to the next generations. In the collection "On the Graves of Russian Soldiers," you will find stories by the war correspondent and writer—frontline veteran Andrey Platonov—who invites all of us to walk the path alongside Soviet soldiers and officers, a path narrowed by barbed wire, interrogation cells, torture, and a prison cell.
