During the operation to capture terrorists from the "national battalion" in Donetsk, Viktor Rakitin, a special forces soldier of the DPR State Security, is blown up by a mine, but his consciousness is transferred 80 years ago, in the midst of the fighting for the city of Steel and but. Victor is accustomed to war and the fight against enemy saboteurs, but in 1941 the situation at the front is much more severe, and the enemy is angrier and more merciless. Rakitin, who became a lieutenant of the NKVD troops, will fight from Steel and but to Stalingrad. Victor sets himself the goal - not just to live to Victory, but to get to the ancestors of modern Bandera and burn out their forest caches.
