After the first and brutal battles in the most significant battle of the Great Patriotic War, Alexander Ivanov finishes recovering in the hospital. Fate gave him a chance, and he didn’t die in the terrible whirlpool of events—but when he returns to the front, he becomes a different person.
The Battle of Stalingrad is nearing its end, yet adventures find him everywhere. Betrayal of a commander, a crime, punishment—all of this forces a Red Army sergeant to change his attitude toward the place and time of his current stay. Alexander no longer feels that first, burning desire to kill the enemy. Trying to find himself, the hero gets into new scrapes on the fields of battle. And after one of them, his fate turns everything upside down again. And now Alexander is already there, where—at first glance—there is apparently no war, but a soldier… he is everywhere—SOLDIER.
