The theme of penal battalions was practically prohibited during the soviet power, but after the USSR downfall it became one of the trump cards of anti-Soviet propaganda and the favorite cause for exposures of “cursed totalitarian past” and political speculations of unscrupulous pseudohistorians. The culmination of this campaign fell on the broadcasting of a scandalous serial “Penal Battalion”, a throughout lying piece of propaganda, bringing to the thought that “it was just penal battalions who won the war”… This book sheds light on the real course of events in 1941-1945.
