Description

This book is “uninvented stories” by a fighter of the 56th airborne assault brigade who fought in Afghanistan in 1984–1986. It is “the trench truth” of the last war of the USSR. All the truth about life and death “beyond the river.” About “what sound a bullet makes when it hits the sand or a stone near your head.” About what it’s like “to rise and run through a hail of ‘duhov’ bullets—those damned 10 steps.” About how war “pulls out everything the brightest and the foulest that exists in each of us.” About how “after Afghanistan we’ll never be ourselves again…”
