This book, dedicated to the 60th anniversary of the Victory over Japan, contains the memories of those who beat the “samurai” at Khalkhin Gol, in China and Manchuria, who in August 1945 fought “through the Gobi and Khingan” and again raised the Russian flag over Southern Sakhalin, the Kuril Islands and Port Arthur:

“In the summer of 1945, having reached Port Arthur, we bowed to the ashes of the Russian soldiers who died there at the beginning of the century and said: we are back, we paid for you." "In Stalin's order, the day of Victory over Japan was declared a holiday. Now they are trying to erase this date from people's memory. But our Victory, our pride and glory, our great past cannot be taken away from us.”
