In the fall of 1941, the fate of the Great Patriotic War and the future of Russia were decided near Moscow. It was here that the Wehrmacht suffered its first serious defeat. Here, for the first time, it was possible to stop the crushing blitzkrieg machine. Infantrymen and artillerymen, pilots and tankers defended Moscow with their breasts and did not let the enemy pass to the sacred walls of the capital! Their motto was the words of political instructor Klochkov: "Great Russia, but nowhere to retreat - behind Moscow!"
