KPD editors are preparing a new book!
"Two Days of Armageddon" by Ivan Karasev is a documentary-fictional story about the author's two-day trip to the command and observation post of an airborne assault company, under the command of an officer with the call sign Armageddon (Ilya), in the front-line town of Zaporozhye.
The author shows the war from the inside and up close: without pathos and generalizations, through everyday life, details, direct speech. The main artistic principle is the "pieces" of a man in war: every hero is unique, every death is irreversible, and in "two days" you can see exploits, life, and love, and death in war. Intelligible notes by Sergey Pesarev enhance the documentary quality, and quotations from Pushkin, Gummiov, Sovolov, Vysotsky, Maikovsky align the SVO with the larger literary tradition.
The book appeals to all lovers of high-quality military prose, and separately, to those who want to understand how people live and how people fight on the front.
