ХХ век: Письма войны

Voĭny KhKh veka prevratili Rossii͡u i SSSR v stranu pisem. Obi͡azatelʹnai͡a voinskai͡a sluzhba, vseobshchai͡a gramotnostʹ i khoroshai͡a organizat͡sii͡a pochtovoĭ sluzhby sdelali pisʹma osnovnoĭ formoĭ kommunikat͡sii mezhdu voennosluzhashchimi i ikh blizkimi. Massovye mobilizat͡sii vo vremi͡a bolʹshikh i malykh voĭn KhKh veka sushchestvenno rasshirili ėtu formu obshchenii͡a. Sbornik "KhKh vek: Pisʹma voĭny" pozvoli͡aet prosleditʹ zarozhdenie i zavershenie fenomena voennoĭ korrespondent͡sii na proti͡azhenii stoletii͡a - ot pervoĭ voĭny proshlogo veka v I͡Uzhnoĭ Afrike, kogda ustoĭchivai͡a perepiska stala vozmozhnoĭ, do posledneĭ voĭny stoletii͡a na Severnom Kavkaze, kogda pisʹmennai͡a korrespondent͡sii͡a byla okonchatelʹno vytesnena telefonnoĭ svi͡azʹi͡u. Vekovai͡a ėkspozit͡sii͡a voennykh pisem, predstavlennai͡a v sbornike, ne tolʹko pokazyvaet, kak proiskhodit transformat͡sii͡a voĭny na pisʹme, no i demonstriruet istoricheskui͡u dinamiku zhanra voennogo pisʹma. V sbornik voshli podborki pisem iz chastnykh kollekt͡siĭ, arkhivnykh i muzeĭnykh fondov, a takzhe ranee opublikovannykh, no malodostupnykh istochnikov. Za redkim iskli͡ucheniem pisʹma predstavleny t͡selikom, bez kupi͡ur.

Wars of the twentieth century turned Russia and the USSR in the country of letters. Compulsory military service, universal literacy, good organization of the postal service made the letters the main form of communication between soldiers and their loved ones. Mass mobilization during large and small wars of the twentieth century greatly expanded this form of communication. The book "the twentieth century: Letters of war" allows us to trace the origin and end of the phenomenon of military correspondence over the centuries from the first wars of the last century in South Africa when a steady correspondence was possible before the last war of the century in the North Caucasus, when written correspondence was finally supplanted by the telephone. Centuries of exposure war letters included in this book not only shows how the transformation of the war on the letter, but also demonstrates the historical momentum of the genre of military writing. The collection includes a collection of letters from private collections, archives and Museum collections and previously published, but inaccessible sources. With rare exception, the letters presented entirely uncut.
