About the book: 1970 / The novel "Ganguttsy" resurrects in the reader's memory the heroic pages of the Great Patriotic War - the defense of the Hanko Peninsula. With documentary accuracy and great artistic power, Rudny describes how, for almost six months, Soviet sailors and soldiers on a small piece of land repelled enemy attacks day and night. Many defenders of Gangut appear before us alive - commanders, political workers, sailors and soldiers - courageous warriors worthy of eternal glory.
