Description: The manuscript of this book lay for more than 30 years in the desk of the author, who did not intend to publish it. Having got straight from the school bench to the bloodiest sections of the Leningrad and Volkhov fronts and reaching all the way to Berlin, he miraculously survived. "Memories of War" is an attempt to free oneself from oppressive memories. The reader will not find here either peppy, jingoistic descriptions of the battles, or light reading. The story is sustained in the spirit of hard trench truth. The book is intended for a wide range of readers interested in the history of the country.

Nikolai Nikolaevich Nikulin (1923-2009) is an outstanding art historian of world renown, curator of the collection of Netherlandish paintings of the 15th-16th centuries of the State Hermitage, a specialist in the art of the Northern Renaissance.
In 1941, at the age of 18, he volunteered for the front, fought near Leningrad, participated in breaking the blockade, in the battles for Pskov, Tartu, Libau ... He finished the war in Berlin with the rank of sergeant.
In 1975, N.N. Nikulin wrote "on the table" his memoirs of the Great Patriotic War, which he agreed to publish in a very limited edition only a few years before his death. The preface to the book was written by the director of the Hermitage M.B. Piotrovsky: “The quiet and refined professor, corresponding member of the Academy of Arts acts as a hard and cruel memoirist. He wrote a book about the War. The book is harsh and scary. It hurts to read it. It hurts because there is a very unpleasant truth in it.
“Nikolai Nikolayevich accomplished an ordinary feat in the highest, Christian sense of the word. He told his compatriots the Truth. I wrote a short book, after the publication of which its readers became different people, ”wrote N.N. Nikulina historian K.M. Alexandrov.
The acquaintance with "Memories of the War" is preceded by a radio program in memory of their author. K.M. Alexandrov tells N.N. Nikulin, Archpriest Georgy Mitrofanov speaks about the significance of his memoirs.

Maybe not a traitor, but in some places the laurels of Solzhenitsyn do not give him rest. IMHO and this is not buzzing.

To be honest, I wanted to cry. Do you believe everything in this book? Was everything really so vile, hopeless and unfair? I read a lot of literature about the Second World War from the Military Memoirs series. Starting with the memoirs of Zhukov, Rokosovsky, Konev and ending with the memoirs of lieutenants who fought from the first day of the war. So everything they wrote is nonsense? And my beloved Bondarev and Sholokhov, with their fairy tales about the war, were they just fooling me? It seems that there is no reason not to believe Nikulin's memoirs. And at the same time, I don't want to believe in all this. If he is right, then this is some kind of foul play, and not a country. And why should I now regret that I am Russian and was born in Russia? After all, it would be naive to believe that this was the case under the Soviet regime, but now everything has changed dramatically. No, that's not possible. After all, it is not clear what to do now and what to believe.

Yes, at least stop showing honor to those who did and continue to do all this.
It is less to believe in cheap fairy tales that someone from behind a hillock interferes with life, and not home-grown scum.

Yes, it's all true. Yes, the Bolsheviks killed more of their people than the Fritz. Yes, Stalin is worse than Hitler.
So, what is next? What choice do Russian cattle have, which have been sheared and slaughtered from time immemorial?
Live according to your conscience. Do not bend before anyone (even to the detriment of yourself). Respect yourself and those who deserve it. Despise liars and scum. Don't just be an outside observer. Love your country and the people living in it.
Banality and pathos? But this is what any human society is based on.
Do not be afraid of the enemy - in the worst case, he will kill you.
Do not be afraid of a friend - in the worst case, he will betray you.
Fear the indifferent - they do not kill and do not betray, but it is with their tacit consent that murder and betrayal exist on earth.

The words, of course, are correct and beautiful, but they are hardly applicable to real life, there is little use in them. What happened to such people in the war, who lived according to their conscience, did not bend before anyone, loved people and the country. As Nikulin says, in his book, they either died from a German bullet, having personally raised their unit in a devastating attack. Or, proving to the authorities the senselessness of the death of soldiers, at best they were dismissed from their posts, and at worst they were shot by their own, for alarmism. According to Nikulin, natural selection took place.
As for our time, then to live according to conscience is to pass for a fool. Do not bend, as they themselves correctly noted, to their own detriment. Loving people is a thankless task.
So your beautiful words do not answer the question in any way.
Books enlighten the soul, uplift and strengthen a person, awaken the best aspirations in him, sharpen his mind and soften his heart.
William Thackeray, English satirist
The book is a great power.
Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, Soviet revolutionary
Without books, we now can neither live, nor fight, nor suffer, nor rejoice and win, nor confidently move towards that reasonable and wonderful future in which we unshakably believe.
Many thousands of years ago, in the hands of the best representatives of mankind, the book became one of the main weapons of their struggle for truth and justice, and it was this weapon that gave these people terrible strength.
Nikolai Rubakin, Russian bibliologist, bibliographer.
The book is a tool. But not only. It introduces people to the life and struggle of other people, makes it possible to understand their experiences, their thoughts, their aspirations; it makes it possible to compare, understand the environment and transform it.
Stanislav Strumilin, Academician of the USSR Academy of Sciences
There is no better remedy for refreshing the mind than reading the ancient classics; as soon as you take one of them in your hands, even if for half an hour, you immediately feel refreshed, lightened and cleansed, uplifted and strengthened, as if refreshed by bathing in a pure spring.
Arthur Schopenhauer, German philosopher
Those who were not familiar with the creations of the ancients lived without knowing beauty.
Georg Hegel, German philosopher
No failures of history and deaf spaces of time are able to destroy human thought, fixed in hundreds, thousands and millions of manuscripts and books.
Konstantin Paustovsky, Russian Soviet writer
The book is magic. The book changed the world. It contains the memory of the human race, it is the mouthpiece of human thought. A world without a book is a world of savages.
Nikolai Morozov, creator of modern scientific chronology
Books are the spiritual testament of one generation to another, the advice of a dying old man to a young man who begins to live, an order transmitted by sentries going on vacation to sentries who take his place.
Without books, human life is empty. The book is not only our friend, but also our constant, eternal companion.
Demyan Bedny, Russian Soviet writer, poet, publicist
The book is a powerful tool of communication, labor, struggle. It equips man with the experience of the life and struggle of mankind, expands his horizon, gives him knowledge with which he can make the forces of nature serve him.
Nadezhda Krupskaya, Russian revolutionary, Soviet party, public and cultural figure.
Reading good books is a conversation with the best people of the past, and, moreover, such a conversation when they tell us only their best thoughts.
René Descartes, French philosopher, mathematician, physicist and physiologist
Reading is one of the sources of thinking and mental development.
Vasily Sukhomlinsky, an outstanding Soviet teacher and innovator.
Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body.
Joseph Addison, English poet and satirist
A good book is like a conversation with an intelligent person. The reader receives from her knowledge and generalization of reality, the ability to understand life.
Alexei Tolstoy, Russian Soviet writer and public figure
Don't forget that the most colossal tool of all-round education is reading.
Alexander Herzen, Russian publicist, writer, philosopher
Without reading there is no real education, there is not and cannot be any taste, or a word, or a multilateral breadth of understanding; Goethe and Shakespeare are equal to the whole university. Reading man survives centuries.
Alexander Herzen, Russian publicist, writer, philosopher
