The collection includes documents, memoirs, diaries that were not previously published for ideological, ethical and other reasons. War veteran KGB General N.V. Governors introduces archival documents about the struggle of military counterintelligence with the German Abwehr, about the special “Gemfurt” team, which consisted of boys trained for sabotage behind Soviet lines. Not one of them turned out to be a traitor. The daughter of the regiment, Lyubov Avetisyan, who became a signal operator at the age of 14, recalls her youth at the front; officer V. G. Pugaev tells how and why he was stripped of his rank and awards. The collection ends with the “Soldier's Diary” of intelligence officer G. T. Lobas. The book is imbued with the pathos of patriotism and loyalty to the Motherland.
