About the book: 1984 / Maria Kolesnikova and Mikhail Kolesnikov are widely known to readers here and abroad as the authors of many books about the famous Soviet intelligence officer Richard Sorge and his comrades, about the heroes of the Civil and Great Patriotic Wars, about Soviet scientists and engineers, as well as about the modern working class. The new story “The Ring of the Blizzard” takes us back to the days of the unprecedented defense of Leningrad and the Baltic coast by soldiers of the Soviet Army from the Nazi hordes. This is a lyrical story about snipers and sailors, about young scientists - physicists, mathematicians, geologists - who fought on the fronts of the Great Patriotic War. The story shows how the strength of friendship and brotherhood of the peoples of our country was tested in fierce battles. This is a book about duty and love.
