For 20 years, historian and writer Rafael Huseynov has been researching the subject of a man in captivity. During this time he has visited archives and libraries in Israel and France, and in this book he publishes previously unknown documents from the repositories of the Federal Security Service of Russia, the State Archive of the Russian Federation (GARF) and others.
Wars bring not only death and destruction, but also isolation of people from loved ones, mutual destruction of captives. "Russia in war" - these words are very appropriate to the history of our country. It was not us who started these wars, it was us who came to us with a sword. But we always won in these wars, because we were defending the Motherland. The most terrible test for the peoples of the Soviet Union was the Great Patriotic War. The monstrous machine of destruction launched by Hitler, its birth, destruction and the demise of Nazism - one of the most instructive lessons of world history. It is the subject of the author's most careful study. A separate chapter of the book is devoted to the battle of Moscow, tells about the heroic feat of Muscovites who managed not only to defend the capital, but also to make a significant contribution to the overall victory. They say that history teaches only those who would like to learn. These days it is not certain that the leaders of the states surrounding Russia have learned lessons from the history of world conflicts. World War II showed us examples of holding and killing prisoners that pale in comparison to the tortures of the Middle Ages and the wildest customs of the past. But the author describes in the book and the nature of the human spirit, its strength and courage. Strong people endure and do not give up in any situation.
