At the beginning of the Great Patriotic War, wounded soldiers of the Red Army, leaving the front line, were obliged to give their weapons to their comrades who continued the battle with the enemy. Why is the “disabled team”, placed under the command of Lieutenant Titorenko, armed almost to the teeth? The reader will receive the answer to this question by reading the story of Sergei Barabash, a writer from Primorye, who worked for many years as a people's judge. The difficult events surrounding the highly publicized criminal case are described in the story “Legal Costs,” also included in this book.
