Storm Gates

Chechnya—one of the most dramatic episodes of a military operation. A company under the command of Senior Lieutenant Doronin is landing in a limited area surrounded by tall cliffs. The task for the soldiers is not complicated: block the gorge, preventing small band formations from coming out. The soldiers hope to carry out the assignment calmly. Some will soon be demobilized, someone plans for vacation, and someone is waiting for a message from a loved one. However, from the gorge toward them moves a thousand fighters led by Taimuraz Kostolom! The battle turns into a bloody fight. Russian soldiers, despite being outnumbered, remain faithful to the Oath and defend the positions to the very end…

A novel based on real events that strikes with its realism and brutality—not only bringing pain of loss, but also inspiring respect for the courage and resilience of Russian soldiers.
