About the book: 2014 / Translator Stanislava Novinskaya and former Red Army general Fyodor Trukhin, who became the chief of staff of Vlasov’s army, meet in Warsaw 1943. Camps for captured Soviet officers, the most complex military-political maneuvers around the creation of the ROA, the life of Russian wartime Berlin and many other circumstances that are little known and have not previously been touched upon in fiction - all this is the background of the way of the cross that the heroes go through in order to understand that they are the only one for each other. The novel uses unique materials from archives, including personal, unpublished letters of German officers and the latest articles on the history of the Vlasov movement, the description of which the author approaches with extreme objectivity, avoiding established propaganda and counter-propaganda cliches.
