About the book: year / This is a book by Viktor Nikolaev. It tells the story of a Russian warrior who went through Afghan hell, saved by the prayers of his mother, wife and daughter. There are no fictitious characters or events in the book, although in rare cases names and place names have been changed. Viktor Nikolaev wrote about his own life, about the people with whom fate brought him into contact. At the same time, the result was not a dry documentary, but a fascinating and instructive reading.
