Insert a brief summary here In the history of wars, there are not many strategic operations (and in the 20th century you can’t remember such ones) named not by the location, but by the name of the commander, one of them is the offensive of the Southwestern Front - the Lutsk breakthrough, which began to be called Brusilovsky. What is the difference between this book and other publications, from the memoirs of the commander of the Southwestern Front, Alexei Brusilov? First of all, in the modern perception of ancient events, in new discussions about the significance of the operation and the fate of the commander-in-chief, and also in a personal journalistic note: he fought as part of the 7th Army, attacked on the left flank and was wounded twice - outside Ternopil and in the Carpathian region - father author, lieutenant of the 171st Kobrin Infantry Regiment A.N. Bobrov. As a publicist and traveler, Bobrov followed in the footsteps of his father, through cities and villages - from Lutsk, from which a decisive offensive began, ending in the wormwood bitterness of Polesie, where Nikolai Gumilyov and Alexander Blok fought in the Pinsk swamps. The author supplemented his essays with living impressions and not only described the course of the battles, but also comprehended the lessons of the events of a century ago. Published in the author's edition.
