Rise up, O mighty country

About the book: Journalist Alexander Krivitsky, a war correspondent for the newspaper "Krasnaya Zvezda" ("Red Star"). He was the first to speak in 1941 on the pages of his newspaper about the heroism of the 28 fighters from General Panfilov's division who were defending the Volokolamsk Highway near Moscow. This "heroism" gained fame and was printed several times in independent editions. Alexander Krivitsky is the author of popular books about the events of the Great Patriotic War: "Night and Dawn," "I Will Never Forget," and others. There is a commonality in these works that make up the collection, which is that their authors found their heroes from the heart of life, and everything they experienced seemed to be lived collectively. You will not find any empty reflection anywhere. But why is that? Because every Soviet person who encountered the idea of practicing friendship among the Soviet peoples saw this great phenomenon of socialist life firsthand, and was able to speak about this great phenomenon with something personal and close to him.
