The war, seen by the eyes of a simple soldier - one of hundreds of thousands, in inhuman conditions of daily fighting with death - the central topic in the work of the outstanding Russian writer Viktor Astafyev. The novel “Cursed and killed” is the result of many years of thought and one of the most dramatic, tragic and truthful narratives about the war as a “crime against the mind”. The writer’s piercing frankness, his uncompromising unwillingness to hide “inconvenient” facts and embellish the harsh truth, betraying his own memories and memory of the fallen, won the works of Astafyev the love of millions of readers
