Description

Nearly seventy years after the end of the Great Patriotic War, many of its soldiers still remain unburied. Even now, the list of the missing is long. In our days, search enthusiasts find the remains of a soldier who defended Leningrad from Hitler’s invaders. A professional historian, Alexey Zlatkov, begins searching based on scant information from a surviving soldiers’ medal. He reconstructs the memory of a fighter who gave his life for the Motherland.

Fedor Krovlev, an artilleryman who took part in the First World War and the Civil War, voluntarily went to the front in 1941 as part of the people’s militia units. Learning about his difficult fate, the historian understands that in any era, under any circumstances in Russia, there are people for whom self-sacrifice, decency, and duty to the Motherland form the foundation of existence.

The book is written based on the real biography of a Soviet soldier.
