I hope it is abundantly clear — all these roundabout ways to do with the volunteers for contract service might be connected with the Russian government’s fears that carrying out a new mobilization might cause less positive sentiments among the general population. That is why the word “mobilization” is seems to be put on the […]

Yuri Bakhurin’s book, The Front and Rear of the Great War, is a true World War I encyclopedia. In it, the reader will find for himself a lot of informative and fascinating. How did the soldiers eat (even with the scheme of the design of a pack kitchen), what did they drink, what did they […]
