In 2024, several writers and poets-front-line soldiers will celebrate their 100th anniversary. Among them are Yuri Bondarev, Boris Vasilyev, Vasil Bykov, Vladimir Bogomolov, Viktor Astafyev, Bulat Okudzhava, Yulia Drunina, and Nikolai Starshinov.
Vasil Vladimirovich Bykov (1924-2003) - a famous Soviet writer and public figure, a participant of the Great Patriotic War, which determined the themes, plots and choice of heroes of his works.
The book includes two of his novels. Heroes "Sotnikov" - two members of the partisan detachment, having gone in search of provisions, they are captured by the German police. Wounded but indomitable Sotnikov is sentenced to death, and to bring the execution to fulfill his comrade Rybak.
"Crane Cry" tells about the heroic resistance of a small group of Red Army soldiers who are ordered to delay the German offensive at a railroad crossing.
Vasil Bykov in his work always addressed important philosophical issues: the price of life and death, cowardice and heroism, loyalty to duty and betrayal.
