A combat mission cut my life short. My long, intense service as a special forces officer—full of ups and downs—is over. But fate had other plans and gave me a second chance.
It’s the USSR, 1985. Faraway Afghanistan is at war.
I’m nineteen again. I’m at a сборний пункт (assembly point), and soon I’ll become a conscript soldier… I finally have a real chance to put my life on new tracks and start over. But first, I need to serve 2 years. So I’ll have to remember army life… Serving the Soviet Union!
