WITH no hi-tech radar equipment and no advanced intelligence units it was not easy being a Russian soldier during the Second World War.
But that is exactly the life which members of the Za Obernonya Living History Society love re-creating.
They were out in force at Fort Brockhurst in Gosport at the weekend staging one of the last shows of Russian resistance against the German advance on Crimean city of Sevastopol.
Hundreds of visitors to the English Heritage site were able to step back in time to June 1942 and see how the everyday Russian soldier lived.
