In 1942, as an eighteen-year-old boy, Viktor Astafiev volunteered for the front. He served on the front line, 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". War, seen through the eyes of a simple soldier - one of hundreds of thousands who fight death every day in inhuman conditions - is a central theme in the work of the outstanding Russian writer Viktor Astafiev. The novel “Cursed and Killed” is the result of many years of reflection and one of the most dramatic, tragic and truthful narratives about war as a “crime against reason.” The writer’s piercing frankness, his uncompromising reluctance to hide “inconvenient” facts and embellish the harsh truth, betraying his own memories and the memory of the fallen, won Astafiev’s works the love of millions of readers.
