The Best Military Songs and Poems

“The Forties, Fateful” – tragic and at the same time glorious pages of our homeland's history. There is no family in Russia untouched by the war. It did not bypass poets either, whose poems make up this collection. Some went... to the front as volunteers, others were military correspondents. Surviving those harsh years was helped by faith in the Great Victory. This book of poems, reflecting the thoughts and hopes of millions of contemporaries, will leave no one indifferent. “Wait for me, and I will return,” “Take your greatcoat, let’s go home,” “Everything that wasn’t with me, I remember” – everyone knows these lines. The collection includes the best works about the war by legendary poets: Alexander Tvardovsky, Konstantin Simonov, Bulat Okudzhava, Yuri Levitansky, Robert Rozhdestvensky, and others, who now, from their distant past, address us, the living today, with a call to love and cherish our homeland with passion and devotion.
