To the 75th anniversary of the Soviet-Finnish war, which the veterans themselves more often called "Winter." The whole truth about the feat and tragedy of the Red Army, at the cost of huge losses won one of the most difficult victories in our history. In-depth analysis of the course of hostilities, supplemented by detailed information about all the tank units that fought both on the Karelian isthmus and north of Ladoga. "Are the tanks breaking wide gaps?" Was sung in the famous march "Take us, Suomi-beauty!" why, having a 30-fold superiority in armored vehicles, the Red Army could not defeat the enemy "small blood"? What explains the huge losses of Soviet tanks? about 3,500 cars? How did it turn the tide in a matter of weeks, teaching the infantry to interact with tankers, deminers and artillery? How have assault, blocking and mobile tank groups proved themselves in the harshest conditions of lake-wooded and marshy terrain, meter snow cover and 50-degree frosts? Thanks to whom the brutal defeats (which cost only the defeat of the 34th Light Tank Brigade!) were replaced by victorious tank operations, such as the February breakthrough of the main defense strip of the "Mannerheim Line" in the area of height 65.5 or the crossing on ice The Gulf of Finland and the seizure of a strategic bridgehead that cut the Vyborg Highway?.. Answering the most difficult and painful questions, this book pays tribute to the feat of the Red Army.
