This book is about war. It was written by a simple Russian soldier who went through the entire battle path with the 31st heavy tank regiment, from breaking the siege of Leningrad to Victory. These are living memories of a direct participant in those events. You will not find many of the stories that the author talks about either in official reports or in archival documents, but they have been preserved in memory. These stories have never been published anywhere before. You can learn about them by reading the book.
