75 years ago, on February 2, 1943, the Battle of Stalingrad ended - the main battle not only of our Great Patriotic War, but of the entire Second World War. Then there will be the Kursk Bulge, Operation Bagration, the capture of Berlin, the victory banner over Reichstag. But at the heart of all these victories, of course, lay precisely Stalingrad. It was there, on the Volga, that a real man-made miracle happened, when the Red Army, which had been retreating for many months with heavy battles, stopped and, having accumulated strength, attacked the enemy.
