This book is about young men who grew up during the Great Patriotic War and almost all lost their fathers. They came to the Suvorov School in 1946, which breathed with the triumph of victory, and were raised as military officers - participants in great battles. It is about life in the Suvorov School, about the era of Stalin's time, which left a mark on the destinies of the children, about the first feeling of love, about dreams come true and hopes. This book is like an oxygen mask for contemporaries who are accepting the mortal blows of ugliness and ignorance from the new era.
