From the editor: Love gives rise to a thirst for knowledge. The desire to learn everything about your beloved is an indispensable factor in the depth of feeling. A love impulse makes every nuance important, any, even the most microscopic detail. Together with knowledge, you seem to absorb the object of love itself - you make it part of yourself, but at the same time dissolve in it. This is the sacrament of great unity. All these descriptions apply to love for the Motherland. When the glorious pages of history have been studied, when the feeling has passed the test of knowledge of the episodes of inglorious ones, you plunge to a new depth, at which an endless labyrinth of details and nuances awaits you. Here a new horizon of feeling opens - the horizon of the abyss.
