The fourth book in the “Comrade Brezhnev” series. Spring 1943. In just a few winter months, the German army groups “South” and “North” were defeated - and the Guards Tank Brigade under the command of Leonid Brezhnev was always at the forefront of the main attack. But the successes of the Red Army haunt our “Western partners” - England and Turkey are on the side of a badly beaten Germany. The French, Belgians, Dutch, Danes and other Europeans are being driven to the front in entire divisions. However, the troops of the Soviet Union can no longer be stopped - having felt the taste of victory, our soldiers are tearing to shreds the “Western International” hastily assembled against them. After the surrender of Sweden, the Supreme Command Headquarters instructs Lieutenant General Brezhnev to prepare an operation to capture Istanbul.
