Vozvrashchenie na Golgofu - Bartfel'd Boris Nukhimovich

History does not tolerate subjunctive inclination, but amazing and almost mystical coincidences in it still happen. On August 17, 1914, General Rennenkampf's Russian army crossed the border of East Prussia, and in the same place, exactly thirty years later, on August 17, 1944, the Red Army first came to the borders of Germany. Russian officers in 1914 ascended to their Calvary, but then did not happen Resurrection - the salvation of the Motherland. And now they are returning to Calvary in a literal and metaphysical sense. After all, the place where Russian troops in August 1914 and autumn 1944 are preparing for the offensive is called Lithuanian Calvaria, which means Calvary in Latin. The fate of Russia and the two great wars, the metaphysics of history and the individual human life, love and death, loss and hope are found in Boris Bartfeld's novel "Return to Calvary" piercing and authentic sound.
