The history of mankind is the history of wars. It is not surprising that war is one of the most favorite topics of cinematographers of all countries and times. Moreover, Soviet cinema could not pass by this topic. After all, many of our artists and directors, for example, the creator of the legendary "Officers" V. Rogovoy, are veterans of the Great Patriotic War. Perfectly understanding what a real war is, they learned to tell about it in poetic, wise and pure language, to tell the truth without humiliating our pride and without killing our Memory. That is why Soviet films about the war are so beloved by the audience. The book by the famous film critic Fyodor Razzakov tells about the most famous and beloved Soviet films and TV films dedicated to the war, many of which are recognized as masterpieces not only in our country, but also rightfully entered the golden fund of world cinema.
