The Great Patriotic War, which broke out on June 22, 1941, and went on for four years, was the most sanguinary in the history of the Russian state. It claimed the lives of millions of Soviet people, both army men and civilians. For four years, the country brought all its strength and capabilities in only one thing the victory over treacherous fascist invaders. Thousands and thousands of Soviet soldiers were perishing on the fronts, and civilians were working in the rear in incredibly severe conditions for the sake of victory.
