Ilya, the top heavyweight boxer of the Ukrainian Soviet Republic, is primed for victory as champion of the entire Soviet Union. Feliksa, a country girl and a star athlete in track, is deep in training for a major race. Then the Nazi invasion in the summer of 1941 changes everything.   The Face of Fire offers a tapestry of Ukrainian life under the brutal Soviet and Nazi regimes-all based on declassified People's Commissariat for Internal Affairs (NKVD) files and Oleksii Nikitin's family archive. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56368101065077,"sku":"9780674304215","price":16.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9780674304215","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
