Lieutenant Colonel Vladimir Stolyarov has served in law enforcement for over thirty years. Now he is in charge of one of the police stations in Riga. In the course of his service, he has to deal with a wide variety of people and events. Therefore, everything that is presented in his books is always "first-hand". Military chronicles since the birth of human civilization have been written in countless numbers, but each era evaluated the heroism of people in its own way. There is an explanation for this - it is difficult to put on the same scales the valor of a knight, a fighter for the freedom of his people or the leader of rebellious slaves. These people have a personal connection: unparalleled bravery, self-sacrifice and contempt for death. The essence of their exploits is that they performed extraordinary deeds on the battlefield, causing admiration equally their own and others. History at all times conducted a rigid selection, preserving for future generations only the most significant, important, that can determine the spirit of the past era. Brave people are the historical memory, whether it is the brightest or on the contrary, far from rainbow colors. Unfortunately, many glorious names of heroes who laid their heads in past battles have faded into obscurity. This book is about people who did not perform outstanding feats, but, being born in the period of great events, without hesitation selflessly stood up in defense of their homeland.
