Nobody asked him if he wanted to be in his favorite historical period - the Second World War. But he ended up there. Nobody gave him a choice about who to be with. And the Russian became an American. Nobody made him a soldier of that war. He himself became one... Arthur Arsentiev, yesterday's law student, reserve sergeant and ardent admirer of military-historical reconstruction, finds himself on June 22, 1941 on the Soviet-Polish border a minute before the war. He will have to believe in something that is very difficult to believe. He will have to look death in the face. After all, he fights for Victory! But he will do all this while carrying the Stars and Stripes flag of the United States of America next to the bright red Victory Banner. Because here he is an American. And the Americans are loyal allies.
