Sasha

The military prose of Vyacheslav Kondratiev is saturated with the author’s memories of his own front -line youth. His characters are ordinary guys who do not break into heroes and do not dream of glory, but human and honest, what are twenty -year -old boys. They fall in love, quarrel, offend, solve the problems of moral choice, while war rumbles around. “This is the story of a person who finds himself in the most difficult time in the most difficult place and in the most difficult position of the soldier"s" - this is how Kondratyev characterizes his story "Sashka". And the main thing that the soldiers want is to live without war.
