"Hello, Dear ones!": from the letters of captain F. S. Leontiev to the family

A selection of letters of captain F.S. Leontiev was first introduced into scientific circulation. The epistolary legacy of many combatants has not yet become the subject of independent analysis, although the letters from the front contain a lot of factual material about military everyday life, the mood in the army environment, and front-line everyday life. Frontline letters with a certain subjectivity in the coverage of events can become the basis for deep and detailed research on military anthropology.
