Yuri Vasilyevich Bondarev (1924–2020) was one of the creators of so-called lieutenant prose—works about the Great Patriotic War written by its direct participants. For him, the Battle of Stalingrad in 1942, recounted in his novel "Hot Snow" (1970), is not just a page of history, but a stage in his own frontline biography: Yuri Bondarev fought his first battle on the Stalingrad Front.

At Stalingrad, an artillery battery stood firm, blocking the path of General Manstein's tank divisions. Here and now, young artillerymen are making history: the success of the Battle of Stalingrad, and perhaps even the outcome of the war, depends on the outcome of the operation. Bitter, frosty dawns, a whirlwind of blood and horror, the desire to survive, the impossibility of retreat... And amidst all this, a simple desire to love and be loved glimmers in the heroes' souls, stronger than the fear of death and the approaching German tanks.
