66 days until Victory

When the writer Boris Vasiliev first heard this story, it sounded like an ordinary frontline summary: seven men who served after injuries at the Kirov railway junction station, at the cost of their lives did not allow the German sabotage group to blow up an important site. Work on the story "And the dawns are quiet here..." did not go: such situations as in the story heard often happened at the front, and to elevate the ordinary to the rank of a feat Vasiliev did not want. The front-line writer himself recalled this moment as follows: There was nothing fundamentally new in this story. Work's up. And then suddenly it came up - let my hero be subordinate not to men, but young girls. And the story lined up immediately. Women are the hardest in war. There were 300,000 at the front! And then nobody wrote about them. The writer was a thousand times right: in the end, the story turned out to be piercing and realistic – it struck the heroines with its drama and sacrifice. Many women who went through the war, recognized in Wife, Rita, Lisa, Gala and Sonya their frontline friends, and even themselves. So the fictional characters paid tribute to the real female heroes – those who remained on the battlefields, and those who were lucky to meet the Victory. Soon after the story "And the Dawns Are Quiet Here..." the film of the same name was filmed. Director Stanislav Rostotsky himself went through the war. He lost his leg at the front. His life was saved by a nurse – she carried Rostotsky from the battlefield and nursed for a long time after a dangerous wound. It was this episode from his frontline biography that had a serious impact on the choice of material and the overall tone of the narrative: the picture turned out to be so realistic that it was even nominated for an Oscar and included in the list of the best films about the war. “This film is a thank you to her and all the women who went to war,” he said. In the center of the plot is Petty Officer Fedot Vaskov, who receives five volunteer girls: Zhenya Komelkova, Rita Osyanina, Lisa Brichkina, Galya Quartetak and Sonya Gurvich. Over time, Vaskov penetrates into his wards sympathy and even tries to protect them. But when 16 German saboteurs are announced in the forest, the group is forced to take up the fight. “Yet when the film came out, many people didn’t pay attention to its main idea. And it lies in the central phrase of the picture: "On such and such a front, nothing significant happened," Rostotsky said. This phrase was often heard on the radio during the war. The director wanted to say that “nothing significant” in the scale of a huge war may not have happened, but behind this “nothing significant” hides shattered fates, cut lives and immense heroism, which cannot be overestimated. To find out more about how the film “... And the dawns are quiet here” was created, we are watching the documentary “Silent Dawns of Stanislav Rostotsky” right now. The Red Army's offensive in East Prussia continues. The troops of the 2nd Belorussian Front reached the coast of the Baltic Sea and captured the city of Kezlin - an important stronghold for the defense of the Germans on the routes from Danzig to Stettin, and also with battles occupied more than 50 settlements. The troops of the 1st Belorussian Front, breaking through the defense of the Nazis east of the city of Stargard, for four days of the offensive advanced up to 100 kilometers and reached the coast of the Baltic Sea near the city of Kohlberg. During the offensive, Soviet troops captured a number of cities and settlements in Pomerania. << Back to the calendar
