Concise description of the directive:
The themes of homeland defence and military enterprise arose together with the history of peoples. On the basis of this theme, the epos grew. The image of the soldier has always been, in the eyes of the people, that of honour and glory, and battlefields have been monuments of national power and state dignity. After October, the theme of defending the homeland was enriched with new revolutionary material (how to fight and win for socialism).
