Boys born in the USSR dreamed of finding themselves on the front lines of World War II—fighting the Nazis, helping our own, or at least saving their grandfather, who received a death notice in 1943. Growing up, many forgot their childhood dreams—school, work, and family took up both their time and energy, dispelling the harsh romanticism. But what if that passionate boyhood wish had come true? Just imagine, strolling along Arbat Street in a rustling "Alaska," sipping a beer from a can, suddenly finding yourself on the front lines, in a wind-blown soldier's greatcoat, a rifle or PPSh in hand... Shells explode all around, the vicious howl of diving Junkers. The scattering of bullets is unheard and unseen, but comrades fall into the snow, hot with blood... And this isn't a movie, not a new shooter, but reality, experienced through the senses, and how experienced! What would you feel then? Would you have experienced dreadful horror? Cursed fate? Or gritted your teeth and charged?
This collection is about those who made their choice. Filipp Oktyabrsky, who commanded the Black Sea Fleet during the war and surrendered Sevastopol, is tormented by his conscience. But he is given a second chance to return to 1941 and exchange shame for honor and glory. Pilot Grigory Bykov, who fought in the Afghan War, passed over in rank and title, "ends up" with Vasily Stalin. He defeats the enemy, earning honor not for his proud family name, but for his own exploits. And his call sign remains the same as before: Colorado.
Searcher (and a bit of a psychic) Anton Lushin wants to understand why political instructor Anton Lushin, who died in the war, is a dead ringer for him. He finds himself on the Kalinin Front and receives an answer to a different question: "Why?" And then, to take the place of the fallen! Save your company, your battalion... And sign the Reichstag.
