Retrograde. Knitov K.

It is now fashionable to say that the Russian soldier won the Great Patriotic War, contrary to everything and everything, first of all, contrary to the "Bolsheviks", the NKVD and the leadership, who "shamefully lost the border battles." Some go further in their desire to rewrite history for themselves. Forgetting who really won this war, who gave the Red Army 105,251 tank, 482 thousand guns, 347,900 mortars, one and a half million machine guns and 157,261 aircraft, who was able to evacuate to the east and expand the production of new equipment at a new place. This was done by Soviet engineers and workers, often in the open, starting to produce products necessary for the front. It is possible that at first this technique was inferior to the best German, English and American patterns. The government of our country had only three “five -year planes” to prepare the country for the Great War. The industrialization plan of the whole country began to be implemented in 1928. In December 1939, we entered the Second World War. And the economy wins the war.
