About the book: 1998 / This book belongs to the pen of an amazing person. Alexander Mikhailovich Agafonov (Glyantsev) as an eight-year-old boy was brought from the USSR to Yugoslavia, to his parents who emigrated during the Civil War. His youth spent in Belgrade, the war, German captivity, participation in the French Resistance, in the underground anti-fascist struggle in Germany... Four times sentenced to death, twice imprisoned in Buchenwald (before and after the Victory), who went through the Lubyanka and the Gulag, he survived and left behind to his contemporaries and their memories for descendants. “Notes of a Fighter of the Army of Shadows” is a talented story that captivates the reader from the very first pages about the dramatic vicissitudes of this extraordinary life, about the people with whom fate brought them together, about an era filled with tragedy. The book is addressed to the widest circle of readers.
