Machine Tractor Station Kharkov-37 (Color Cover)

In Stalin's U.S.S.R., life as a Red Army soldier is challenging but preferable to the harsh realities faced by most Russians in the late-winter of 1933. You enjoy the comforts of a bed and regular meals, but duties can be perilous. Now, you're ordered to repair telegraph lines at a remote outpost, raising questions: why not wait for clearer roads, why send soldiers instead of prisoners, why haven't local comrades fixed the line, and why are Telegraph Agency men armed? The Worker's Paradise harbors its own terrors, with collective farms failing and famine looming. A knock at the door could mean deportation to the gulag, and Moscow whispers of an impending purge. Yet, the true horrors lie at Machine Tractor Station Kharkov-37.
