Vyacheslav Mironov: books about the war

Unfortunately, in the world wars never stop. Russia at the turn of the century, too, experienced another tragedy - a military conflict in Chechnya. Most of the inhabitants are familiar with the Chechen campaign for documentary television stories and feature films. But there are people for whom this historical fact is part of their own life, it can not be forgotten. Russian officer and writer Vyacheslav Mironov passed the Chechen war from beginning to end, her events formed the basis of many of his books.

Brief biography of the author

Mironov Vyacheslav Nikolayevich was born in the Siberian city of Kemerovo in 1966. After graduating from school, Vyacheslav decided to continue the family tradition and become a military man. He entered the Kemerovo Higher Military Communication School.

After the completion of the educational institution, Mironov served in various places, having traveled almost all over the country during this time. He participated in the resolution of many military conflicts, including in Chechnya. Vyacheslav Nikolayevich was wounded, repeatedly concussed, awarded for his military service the Order of Courage. After the termination of military career has continued service in bodies of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia. The events of the First Chechen War forever changed Mironov's life, becoming an inexhaustible source for his creativity. The writer is a laureate of literary awards "Tenet" and the Fund named after V.P. Astafieva. The author's main work by right is the book "I was in this war. Chechnya, the year 1995 ".

Military writer Vyacheslav Mironov

The desire to tell the truth about the war, an attempt to comprehend the terrible events that took place in Chechnya at the end of the 20th century forced to take up the pen of serviceman Vyacheslav Lazarev (author's real name, Mironov is a pseudonym).

The military writer Vyacheslav Mironov appeared. "I was in this war. Chechnya, the year 1995 "- the first book, which is considered to be his main work. It has been republished many times and translated into several languages. All subsequent work of the writer is also devoted to military topics.

Notes eyewitness

The dignity of the book "I was in this war" is that the eyewitness and direct participant in military operations tells about the terrible details of those distant days. Therefore, this is a very truthful and piercing work. Without pathos and false patriotism, the author discusses such lofty concepts as love of the Motherland, honor and duty. But do not forget that this is an artistic presentation, so it is permeated with the writer's personal attitude to everything that is happening, his own experience and pain. The book contains terrible, heavy scenes that can not be taken lightly. But this is the value of the work. It shows with frankness to readers that war is scary, it is tears and pain, dirt and death.

Vyacheslav Mironov does not confine himself to a simple description of military everyday life, he tries to give his own assessment of the actions of the opposing sides, representatives of power and military leadership. And this estimate is not always positive. The writer tries to understand where this enmity originated and who needed such significant and irreplaceable sacrifices. Those who call for the slaughter, who see the solution to all problems in the use of weapons, Vyacheslav Mironov recalls with his book that the war spares no one - neither rightists nor blame.

Review of the work of Vyacheslav Mironov

During his work, the writer released more than 10 works. The war is the main topic covered by Vyacheslav Mironov. The author's books are united by one characteristic feature: discouraging frankness and hatred for war:

• The book "Not my war" tells about the fate of a separate, then Soviet, missile unit during the period of the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict. The main question of the work: how to remain alive and return from a foreign war?
• "Day of the cadet" is a sincere story about the life of military school cadets, who in a short time need to become real men, because then they are waiting for the fight.
• The book "The Eyes of War" narrates about the fight against terrorists, a quiet, but no less terrible battle.

Books by the writer Mironov are not only fascinating works of art. This is also a kind of chronicle of events taking place in modern Russia, including military conflicts. It is very important when the person who took part in the fighting himself tells about the fighting. I would like to hope that the work of Vyacheslav Mironov will allow the next generation of Russians not to forget what war really is.
