Different cities and different fates, one war—and one unchanging child’s belief: “Dad will come back.” Honored Teacher of Russia Lilia Kandybovich, drawing on archival materials and vivid recollections, tells about the Great Patriotic War the way those who waited most of all—children—experienced it.
Lilia Viktorovna Kandybovich is a modern writer, a member of the Union of Children’s and Teen Writers, an Honorary Worker in General Education, and an Honored Teacher of the Russian Federation.
“Dad Will Come Back. Lёva” is the first book in a series created from real events: based on the stories of participants and documents from archives. Lёva and other boys and girls—heroes of these tales—live in different places, meet different people, and find themselves in different circumstances shaped by the war, but they are united by the main thing: a child’s sacred certainty that the father will definitely return from the front.
The first edition was included in the Russian Book Union (RKS) Unified Catalog “Books of Memory and Victory. From the Great Patriotic War to the SVO.”
For middle school age.
