Mansur Abdulin
Mansur Abdulin fought in the front ranks of the Soviet infantry against the German invaders at Stalingrad, Kursk, and on the banks of the Dnieper. This is his extraordinary story. His vivid firsthand account of a ruthless war on the Eastern Front gives rare insight into the reality of the fighting and into the tactics and mentality of the Red Army's soldiers.
In his own words, and with a remarkable clarity of recall, he describes what combat was like on the ground, face-to-face with a skilled, deadly, and increasingly desperate enemy. The terrifying moments of action, the discomfort of existence at the front, the humorous moments, the absurdities and cruelties of army organization, and the sheer physical and psychological harshness of the campaign - all these aspects of a Soviet soldier's experience during the Great Patriotic War are brought dramatically to life in Mansur Abdulin's memoirs.
The grand strategy of the campaigns across the Eastern Front is less important here than the sequence of brutal and bloody engagements that were the firsthand experience of the common soldier. It is this close-up view of combat that makes Mansur Abdulin's reminiscences of such value.

The Narrator did a fabulous job and I would enjoy many other stories by him but it just did not seem matched well for me here.
Fespite this, i want to thank you Masur for sharing and recording your story for posterity.
Hopefully more records of your compatriots will eventually make their way into English for a Western audience, who seem to be interested but for the most part do not have access.
it would have been helpful if the soviet government had encouraged its veterans to record their stories and great sacrifices soon after the war...
thank you Masur Abdulin...
