This is the term used in the former Soviet Union (and still today in Russia and other former Soviet countries) to refer to the Eastern Front of the Second World War, specifically the period from the German invasion of the USSR (22 June 1941) until Germany’s surrender (May 1945). The cover illustration shows a military parade on Moscow’s Red Square, with the silhouette of St Basil’s Cathedral in the background.
