Ebook About Synopsis. History is written by the victors, but the harsh reality of war can only be depicted by its soldiers.As a Russian recruit in World War II, Ivan Makarov witnessed General Chuikov pull out his pistol and shoot their regimental commander as a traitor. Thrown into an open field to face German tanks and artillery fire with only rifles and machine guns of their own, it took only six days at the Eastern Front for three-quarters of a regiment of 2,000 men to be wiped out. Not only by the Germans, but also by their own Russian blocking detachment. At this rate, Ivan struggled to comprehend how he would survive the hundreds of battles that lay before him, with death seeming to be the only certainty.But Ivan was a wise soul and a brave soldier, who fought for his life, no matter how hopeless or fatal the situation. In his raw and trenchant memoir, Ivan recounts in detail the terror and despair faced by a Red Army soldier on the Eastern Front.He has no sympathy for Stalin and his incompetent commanders, who sought awards and recognition at the expense of their soldiers’ lives. He simply wanted to serve his country.It is rare to find first-hand accounts of the Great Patriotic War from Red Army soldiers, as many did not survive to tell the tale. For the first time, Ivan reveals his gripping recollections of battles, times, places, and people encountered over the course of World War II from when he was drafted in 1941 until their victory.These recollections he dared not put on paper until 1992. About the Author. Ivan Makarov was my grandfather on my mother’s side. He was a veteran of the Great Patriotic War. From my childhood, I remember that he loved to tell stories about the war—about his childhood and life. Ivan also had an old typewriter and was constantly typing on it. In early 2000, he came to visit us, gave a bundle of printed stories to my mother, and said, “These are my memoirs of the war, one day you should publish a book. Let people know the real truth about the war, as all my life, I have never seen the real war portrayed in any book or movie.”There are hardly any accounts detailing what the war was like for a Red Army soldier from the front line, especially in the first years. A profoundly changed man returned from there. Those who managed to return, as a rule, did not like and could not recount the real events that had transpired, and many of the Russian military documents of those years are still inaccessible to the public.Ivan wrote these stories from 1992 to 1998, after the Soviet Union collapsed and it became possible to talk about what had really happened openly. Before this time, he could easily go to prison for such writings. This book is a collection of individual stories. These events Ivan recalls in detail, from Stalingrad to Germany. During the first half of the war, Ivan was a machine gunner and a regimental scout during the second. He talks about what he personally saw and experienced during the war, and what difficulties were faced by ordinary soldiers. Ivan describes how he was captured by the Germans, escaped, and returned to the Red Army, and how he served in the machine gun company once more. Later, he was assigned to the army’s intelligence services and performed special tasks. Despite all the difficulties on the front line, he maintained his desire to live, managed to survive, and returned to RussiaThese stories I found in my mother’s house before I moved to Australia in 2014. I started reading and could not stop, I found it captivating. After reading and making copies, I decided that it was necessary to publish the book and even translate it into English. Usually, the authors of Russian war memoirs were commanders or political workers, whose stories were vastly differentBook Born Under a Lucky Star: A Red Army Soldier's Recollections of the Eastern Front of World War II Review :
First off I have always been fascinated with Mother Russia. This book was a real page turner and the only thing I regret was that I could not have met Mr. Ivan in real life. We live in a country (America) which is now polarized with so many so called social issues, people declaiming that things are "unfair" or that they are discriminated because of race or whatever. To all these people I give the following advice" READ THIS BOOK. Under Soviet communisis the author teaches us how brutal life can be. They did not care if you were a woman with children ... they would take your last chicken and dump you out to live in a swamp!! In the freezing Russian winter with no shelter. Mr. Ivan is truly a remarkable and brave person who is a true hero, like so many others to Russia. If only I could be more like him! Today I received some disappointing, "unfair" news at work just as I was finishing the book . I felt ashamed of myself.... like Mr. Ivan says " If you are not hungry and you can walk you are a lucky person indeed!" Thank you Mr. Ivan for your life... I only wish I could be more like you! No surprise that this account was only published after the USSR collapsed. There is no doubt that the decades since ww2 have altered perception in our forebears. It is refreshing to read about the internal conflicts and the sheer madness that fighters of all sides experienced on the Eastern Front, and i want to believe that the conduct of this brave man was in fact as described in this book. Knowing very well the atrocities commited on both sides I have my doubts. But regardless, a rivetting book and an important addition to our understanding of ww2.
