They defended the Fatherland. Issue No. 5: From death to life... wars and fate

In the fifth part of the book “From Death to Life. Wars and destinies ”Editor-compiler Sergey Galitsky will tell readers about the difficult military fate of Soviet and Russian warriors-our contemporaries. In war, they had to overcome incredible trials. Someone had the horror of captivity and a penal battalion, someone-a war with German huntsmen in the mountains of the Caucasus at an altitude of several thousand meters, someone had to stand to death on the path of the frontal attack of a gang of terrorists, ten times superior in terms of numbers. None of the heroes of the book succumbed to fear, did not give up, did not retreat. Someone drew his strength in fidelity to duty and oath, someone prayed, as he could, God, his parents prayed for someone. Veterans of the Great Patriotic War Colonel M. A. Smirnov and Colonel M.M. Bobrov, Hero of Russia Colonel V.V. Nedobezhkin, Hero of Russia Colonel V. A. Belyavsky, Cavalier of the Order of Courage, Lieutenant Colonel A.M. Lebedev and others. It is very useful for readers, especially young ones, to listen to these piercing sincere, without the slightest pathos, stories. After all, the heroes of this book are fully consistent with the words of the poet Nikolai Tikhonov: “To make nails out of these people, there would be no stronger nails in the world.”
