Dmitry Borisovich Lomonosov, at his venerable 87 years, is known to the Internet community as perhaps the oldest Russian Internet user and blogger. Despite the modern way of life, the main event in it for D. B. Lomonosov remains the distant war, from the beginning of which 70 years have passed. The memory of her haunted the veteran for many years, and he outlined his memories on the pages of this book. Repressed parents, the son of “enemies of the people”, a short youth interrupted by the war, hard labor as a soldier in a cavalry unit, wanderings in captivity that almost ended in death from exhaustion in the very last days of the war, and, finally, the post-war stigma of being a former prisoner of war. The personal fate of the soldier and the general glory of the military generation are presented in this literary, remarkable and historically accurate book.
