The book "The Feast of the Victors" includes Alexander Segen's novel "Alpine Snows," dedicated to a little-studied topic—the organization of supplies for our troops during the Great Patriotic War—and Nikolai Makarov's biographical essay about his grandfather, Pavel Ivanovich Drachev, Chief Quartermaster of the Red Army. Using documents he has researched, the author dispels the dismissive attitude toward quartermasters. It's sufficient to note that by 1945, thanks to their work, the army had one and a half, and sometimes even twice, more necessities than quotas required. It shows the difficulty of achieving this, especially during the difficult first years of the war. In addition to vivid portrayals of the main characters, readers will find fascinating information about what our soldiers ate and wore, how awards were developed, the difficult relationships with the Allies over Lend-Lease supplies, and much more.
