In the formidable time. 1812. Bragin M.

“In the formidable time” - a book illustrating one of the most striking, heroic pages of the great history of Russia - the Patriotic War of 1812.

1812... A huge army under the command of Napoleon Bonaparte was unprecedented. By that time, the emperor of France subjugated almost all of Europe. It seemed a little more - and his dominance would be endless. But on the way of Napoleon there was a great country in Russia. Relieved by glory and confident in the relics of his army, Napoleon anticipated an imminent victory over another state. But Russia did not give up! The popular participation in the war and the heroism of the soldiers, the national rise in defense of the Fatherland and the general talent of the commander in chief of the Russian army Kutuzov destroyed Napoleon’s plans and “destroyed the enemy to the last feature of the opportunity”. The Patriotic War of 1812 became a great era in the life of our country, truly formidable, and its heroes will forever remain in the history of Russia, showing us all an example of selflessness, great love and devotion to the Motherland.

The book is formed by a master of Russian graphics, The artist with world recognition by Pavel Bunin, who managed to amazely emotionally, to brightly recreate the paintings of that terrible, bloody Patriotic War.
