In 2024, several writers and poets-front-line soldiers will celebrate their 100th anniversary. Among them are Yuri Bondarev, Boris Vasilyev, Vasil Bykov, Vladimir Bogomolov, Viktor Astafyev, Bulat Okudzhava, Yulia Drunina, and Nikolai Starshinov.
Yuri Vasilyevich Bondarev (1924-2020) was a famous Russian writer, screenwriter and public figure who fought in the Great Patriotic War at Stalingrad and took part in the liberation of Kiev and Zhitomir.
The events of his story "Battalions Ask for Fire" unfolds in Ukraine in 1943. Two battalions are ordered to occupy a bridgehead at the forcing of the Dnieper and signal the artillery for further offensive.
However, the subsequent command order already read "hold to the death with their firepower" ...
An honest, truthful and uncompromising narrative about the fates of ordinary soldiers who gave their lives for the Great Victory.
