The book is a popular science essay with elements of satire on the pseudo-historical concepts of the beginning of the Great Patriotic War and was intended as a refutation of the ideas of V. Suvorov, but in the course of the work the authors came to the conviction that without illuminating the real picture of the course of events of those years it is impossible to complete the task . Therefore, the peculiarity of the publication is that serious historical problems are presented in a form accessible to the general reader, not alien to humor. All currently known publications of this scandalous author dedicated to the beginning of the Great Patriotic War are commented on: “Icebreaker”, “M-Day”, “ The Last Republic”, “Suicide”, “Purification”. In addition, this work is distinguished by the depth of its study of the material. The authors do not limit themselves to criticizing the general provisions of Suvorov-Rezun; the book puts forward counter-arguments to each of the arguments given by Suvorov, revealing the poverty of his evidence base. For this purpose, the book contains special subchapters, where the mechanism used by Suvorov to mislead the reader is clearly displayed in a humorous form.
