From home to the front. Rzhevskaya E.

The path from the house to the front in the war is measured not only and not so much by distance and time. The measure is experience to him. The experience of new life, new, not familiar relationships, the experience of a new view of yourself, at life and death. In 1941, Lena Kagan, a student of Lena Kagan, was credited (the second time, having guessed to keep silent that his father was excluded from the party) to military translators, and after graduating he was sent to the front near Rzhev, went through the whole war to Berlin. Rzhev gave her a literary name, the documentary story “Berlin, May 1945” made a famous author. But while the ridiculous and very observant Muscovite student memorizes German charters, changes the dress to a tunic, boots with felt boots. And when he was in the thick of the front -line everyday life, he is just beginning to think about the dual role of the translator in the war, the only one who understands his and strangers. About the beginning of the military path of Elena Rzhevskaya - two autobiographical novels included in the real volume, “from home to the front” and “February - curves of roads”.
