My prime focus is on researching history of men and women, who served in the Red Army during WW2, the engagements and operations, that lead to the Victory in May 1945.
Those people were a part of “the greatest generation”, whose blood, sweat, and tears bought us our everyday lives. They were not perfect. Far from it. Just like you and I. But they were there at the time when the world needed them and they carried the burden to the very end. Their personal stories deserve to be told and reminded to the current and the upcoming generations. They were not all heroes. And yet there are truly honoured as such!
