Every war is a test for a country and its people. But truly fateful changes become inevitable when society has to exert all its strength to win. Mobilization and demobilization. Departure to the front and return from it millions of people called to defend the Motherland. In the history of Russia of the XX century, this happened three times.
For the first time in one book, evidence of mobilization and demobilization in the course of the largest wars of new and modern Russian history is collected - the Russian-Japanese, the First World War and the Great Patriotic War. Official documents from archival sources are combined in this work with the living voice of the era: press publications, memoirs, letters, diaries. This work reflects not only conscription and dismissal measures, but also a wide range of economic and socio-political processes related to mobilization and demobilization. Both positive and negative aspects of public life are reliably and impartially recorded: self-sacrifice, patriotism, hypocrisy, confusion, arbitrariness. Through the emotional testimonies of the soldiers themselves, their family members, friends and acquaintances, the reaction to what is happening is clearly shown.
Against the majestic backdrop of events of a colossal scale, which largely formed modern Russia, we are faced with the personal experiences, dramas and exploits of specific people.
