One of the paradoxes of history is that we evaluate the events of the distant and not very past by the standards of today. So they approach the distant 1941 with the standards of the USSR during its heyday. The book of D. Shein and A. Ulanov allows us to see the real forty-first and tank troops of the Red Army as they met the aggressor at the border 70 years ago. This book was the fruit of many years of research by independent experts. It will allow you to take a fresh look at the usual and seemingly unshakable facts and revise the established assessments of famous events (Alexey Isaev).
