The book by L. Karankevich and V. Nikitin uses extensive sources to study the operations of the Soviet armed forces on the close approaches to Vyborg and during its assault. The authors show the daily course of military operations and give a balanced analysis of them. The work is a logical continuation of the chronicle of the Vyborg offensive operation, the beginning of which was laid in the works by L. Karankevich and D. Kozunenko "June 1944. Chronicle of the first days of the Soviet offensive on the Karelian Isthmus" and two volumes "June 1944. The Collapse of the Last Hope. Chronicle of the battles on the Karelian Isthmus". Using documents of the USSR and Finland, the authors provide new information about little-known episodes of the operation, the numerical composition of the groups of the opposing sides and their losses.
