The novel begins in September 1939, when German troops swiftly invade Poland. The family of Russian émigrés is in turmoil: Pelageya's parents urge her to flee to the Soviet border, but her husband, Ivan, is against it. Meanwhile, Nazi planes are already over the village... The arrival of the Red Army is a bolt from the blue. The people rejoice, welcoming their liberators. And war lies ahead.
The reader is presented with a rich and multilayered picture of the events of the Great Patriotic War. Retreat and betrayal, the Uman Pit, slavery in Germany, escape from a concentration camp. The evacuation of factories to the Urals, heroism on the home front, the feat of Magnitka, which became "Hitler's grave." The Battle of Moscow, the battles at Stalingrad, the large-scale partisan movement, and the secrets of the underground movement in the Minsk ghetto.
Under the harshest conditions of war, heroes are forced to make difficult decisions, sometimes risking their own lives. Who will resist collaborating with the Nazis, remaining loyal to their homeland? Who will stumble, and what will be the price? The author immerses the reader in the heroes' profound reflections on the fate of their homeland and the reasons for the people's unity in the face of the enemy.
But even the most severe trials will not allow a strong-willed person to lose themselves and abandon what they believe in. And no hardships of war will stop the young Soviet state on its path to victory.
