Abstract
The article, applying the principles of unity of historical and logical, provides a detailed analysis of the military-strategic operation - the Battle of Stalingrad, during which the Red Army dealt a crushing blow to the troops of Nazi Germany and its allies. Analyzing the course and result of the battle of three fronts (Southwestern, Don, Stalingrad), the author characterizes the courage and steadfastness of the Red Army men during the defense of the city, their courage and determination during the counteroffensive and the defeat of the enemy. The article reveals the active role of political work, the activities of agitators, propagandists and various genres of Russian art in the formation of high spiritual qualities among the defenders of Stalingrad.
The international and political significance of the Battle of Stalingrad on the course and results of the Second World War is noted; its cognitive significance in the conditions of complex military-political relations of modernity is substantiated.
