About the book: 1985 / V. Kondratiev’s military prose, as truthful and reliable as possible, has long attracted the attention of readers. In the collection of stories and short stories “On the Ovsyannikovsky Field” there is the same theme of war. But the writer does not close the story only on the war; on the contrary, the true price of Victory is interpreted in the book through the prism of the post-war period. And behind all the events described there is a kind, wise, humane person, firmly convinced that the most important achievement in life is to live without war.
