The official history of the partisan movement on the territory of the USSR occupied by the troops of Germany and its allies is completely mythologized. Instead of a critical analysis of real events, their features, causes and consequences, readers are offered inventions of former partisan bosses, party ideologists, Soviet historians and writers. The author of the book, consisting of 26 chapters, consistently refutes these myths. He confirms his reasoning and conclusions with references to the research of historians, recollections of participants and eyewitnesses of the events described, genuine documents, as well as statistical data.
