Pavel Fyodorovich Karev (1894-?), participant of World War I, non-commissioned officer. As a member of the 2nd Company of the Special Infantry Regiment (1st Brigade) of the Russian Expeditionary Corps, he was sent to the front in the French province of Champagne, and received a sniper school certificate at the Chalon-on-Marne camp. His personal observations, recounted in this book, reconstruct the events that inevitably led to the so-called decay of the army: conflicts between officers and lower ranks, corporal punishment, low level of medical care, evasion of superiors from taking part in battles, sleepless nights fighting under German shelling, news from the homeland about the abdication of the Tsar, the refusal of the Provisional Government to take measures to return soldiers to Russia. Karev himself was among the supporters of ending the war - he was at the center of the Lakurtin tragedy, when all dissenters from among the Russian corps were subjected to artillery fire in order to "tame" (Camp La Curtin, September 1917). Karev was then sent to North Africa as part of a special military contingent. The author in detail unfolds the picture of the Russian military there - hard labor, abuse, torture, death. For the first time P. Karev's memoirs were published in 1937. The new edition is supplemented with a foreword by Dr. A.V. Sazanov and T.G. Borodinskaya.
