In 1942, at the age of eighteen, Viktor Astafyev volunteered for the front. He served on the front lines, suffered several serious wounds, was awarded the Order of the Red Star and the Medal "For Courage", and was demobilized in 1945 with the rank of "private". The war, seen through the eyes of a simple soldier - one of hundreds of thousands who daily fight death in inhuman conditions - is the central theme in the work of the outstanding Russian writer Viktor Astafyev. The novel "Cursed and Killed" is the result of many years of reflection and one of the most dramatic, tragic and truthful stories about war as a "crime against reason". The piercing frankness of the writer, his uncompromising unwillingness to hide "inconvenient" facts and embellish the harsh truth, betraying his own memories and the memory of the fallen, won the love of millions of readers for Astafyev's works.
