The mius front in the history of the great patriotic war

摘要

The decades that have passed since the end of the Great Patriotic War simply highlight the need for a deep scientific revision of its history. Despite mounds of books, articles, and documents, there are still a lot of "blank spots." Among the latter we refer to the military actions on the Mius Front, which the German leaders regarded as the "new eastern border" of the Third Reich. Only in August 1943 was the Red Army able to break through the deeply echeloned German defense on the Mius River at the cost of tens of thousands of lives of local residents from the Sea of Azov region, the Donbass, Kuban', Stavropol' oblast, and the Caucasus.
