Red army artillery in the armed conflict on the Khalkhin‐Gol river

In the dozens of books dealing with general history and in the memoir literature of the Soviet period, the Red Army's combat operations on the Khalkhin‐Gol River in 1939 are, as a rule, characterized only by superlatives. History, however, consists of facts that cannot, by themselves, change, although their evaluation can and should change. Therefore, one can take a new approach to studying the combat operations on the Khalkhin‐Gol River, the employment of Soviet artillery in this conflict in particular, and provide a different treatment and assessment of many facts.
