“Stories that somehow played up the theme of patriotism were accepted for consideration. And it turned out that it was absolutely not necessary for a patriotic work to be pretentious - an artless story about bright people with whom the author was brought together by fate is able to very clearly express love for the Fatherland …” - wrote on the next day Rossiyskaya Gazeta.
The military theme also sounded in the works sent to the competition. The pain of the war that began 70 years ago does not subside in our hearts, we must live, remembering those pages of the country's history that were written with the blood of her loving children …
