The anniversary edition, dedicated to the celebration of the 75th anniversary of the Victory of the Soviet people in the Great Patriotic War, covers the largest, most significant military actions, many of which are accompanied by the memoirs of contemporaries. Much attention is paid to the patriotic activities of the Russian Orthodox Church during the war, the active participation of the Church in the defense of the Fatherland, the assistance of the clergy to Soviet warrior defenders and the partisan movement. A special feature of the book is that the history of military strategic operations is connected with church holidays and is presented against the backdrop of ongoing church events.
