The reviewer agrees that the topic the authors consider is relevant as part of the area in question. He also emphasises the debatable character of issues concerning the Russian authorities’ attitude to people’s behavior in extreme conditions of war at its different stages and in different social and political situations, and that of society. Close attention is paid to the new interpretations of the social aspects of reflection upon heroism in the context of World War I.</p> ER -
