Nearly half of the book’s pages focus on the stories told by Russian military advisors about their memories in Vietnam. Photographs they captured during that time are also used in this book.

Head of the association of former Russian military experts in Vietnam Nikolai Kolesnik, one of the book’s contributors, said that thanks to support from the Soviet Union, the air defense missile force of the Vietnam People’s Army was formed, which contributed to Vietnam’s victory against the enemy.
