Igor Strelkov in the battle for the Donbass. Secrets of Russian Spring. 3rd edition. Polikarpov M.A.

Now again and again you have to return to the events of 2014. Then the conflict in the Donbass was actually “frozen”. But the fighting, which was put off in the hope of avoiding a bloody denouement, still returned!

could this be avoided? The author believes that in 2014 there were at least two “windows of opportunities” that allowed to solve the problem with little blood. But then they did not develop military success. The recognition of European leaders that Minsk was needed only as a strategic pause to give Ukraine to prepare for war, they are expensive. The fire of several local conflicts became a new face of Russia rising from the knees. Knightly noble, courageous, tough, but fair - the honor, mind and conscience of the Russian people - it is not for nothing that he is so to the face of the epistracy of the Russian Imperial Army, it is not for nothing that he, a hereditary Russian officer, is so similar to the face and refuel the greatissimus Suvorov.

This book has experienced more than one edition, but in demand now! Of course, there are some gaps in it. But since then, no work has appeared where the course of hostilities in 2014-2015 was shown so fully-and where a look from two sides would be presented. But the main thing is that she reveals in detail what Igor Ivanovich Strelkov did! And each reader, having read the book, can give him his own assessment.
