Plot
Andryusha and his fifth-grade classmates found poorly bound typewritten pages with the words 'Attack' in a pile of scrap materials. The guys enthusiastically read this collection of frontline stories. Their author Bukin, it turns out, lives nearby, in the next block. The man is not young and sickly; however, he does not succumb to the blows of fate. He devotes all his strength to the preservation of forest resources, and in his free time from these worries he continues to write stories, recalling certain episodes of a rich front-line life.[4]
