The Unwomanly Face of War

Product Information

The writing about how the war can affect the fate of man can be written on the basis of artistic and historical literature. But it's better to refer not to the pretentious books about high-profile exploits, but to read the stories of simple eyewitnesses. They have less propaganda and more truth.

She learned about it from the words of the front-line workers. The stories and confessions that are set out in this work are pain and tears. And reading them, you see the true face of the war. It is not feminine, and not masculine. It is generally inhuman. Following Stalin's Great Purge of 1937, millions of Soviets were sent to gulags and other forced labor camps. Over the course of his reign as Soviet premier, Stalin was said to have murdered 30 million of his own people. This number could have been even higher due to the silence of many who feared that they too would be labeled as enemies of the state. As a result, when the war against Germany began in 1941, there was a shortage of men to fight. Teenagers as young as fourteen in some cases were enlisted into the army but this still was not enough. Girls who had been members of the Konsomol, the Soviet pioneers much like Girl Scouts, for their entire lives begged their parents to let them go to the front and play their role in defending Mother Russia. In some instances there were no boys in the family, and girls as young as fourteen and fifteen left for the front in situations as dangerous as those faced by their male counterparts. Yet, these girls fought valiantly because they viewed it as an honor to fight for the Motherland and for Stalin and a disgrace to stay home, even if in many cases they were not honored as much as the men.

The first is that, especially in the case of squadron leaders and pilots and any other position of authority, men did not take them seriously, at least at first. Even if the girls had to cut off their braids and wear the same khaki colored trousers as men, they were still girls, and sometimes the only girls these men would see for months at a time. Only after demonstrating their worth in the field of battle, were these girls deemed as worthy leaders. Additionally, girls left school to fight. They were to have become doctors, engineers, teachers, and other leading professions, but gave up everythi

Original quote: "Калі ўся руская літаратура выйшла, як сцвярджаў Дастаеўскі, з «Шыняля» Гогаля, то ўся творчасць Алексіевіч – з дакументальнай кнігі Алеся Адамовіча, Янкі Брыля і Уладзіміра Калесніка «Я з вогненнай вёскі».

Rough translation: "If the entire Russian literature came, as Dostoyevsky stated, from the Gogol's Overcoat, then the entire writings of Alexievich came from the documentary book of Ales Adamovich, Yanka Bryl and Uladzimir Kalesnik I'm from the flamy village. Adamovich is her literary godfather".

The anti-feminist propaganda goes hand in hand with the anti-Western one. Thus, the feminists themselves are systematically blamed for the “genocide of Donbas”, (whatever that means) and all feminist protests are typically marked as “bunches” and ridiculed as the “puppets of the West”, led by their “Western curators” and “protesting against the very existence of men”.
