In occupation. The diary of the Soviet professor

The author of this book Lev Petrovich Nikolaev is a Soviet doctor, professor, doctor of medical sciences, a known anthropologist in the world. During the Great Patriotic War, he ended up in the Germans occupied by the Germans and spent almost two years under the German occupation. Being an opponent of Stalinism and the Communist System, Lev Nikolaev met the Germans as liberators, but soon saw what was in fact a “Ordnung " - a new German order - and, in the end, took the path of struggle with the invaders.
The diary that Professor Nikolaev kept all these years is first published in full. It contains a lot of unique details about life in the territory seized by the Germans, as well as an original author’s analysis of the events, an assessment of the Soviet system of pre -war and wartime, the nature of the war, the actions of both sides in it. It is no coincidence that Yuri Mukhin, one of the most authoritative researchers of the military theme, gives a high assessment of Nikolaev’s diaries in the preface to the book
