Chechnya... A land that we would like to forget about. A war that never ends. Reports from there, from the very inferno, are collected in this book. Yuri Shchekochikhin - journalist, writer, politician - takes a close look at the fate of young Russians dressed in camouflage: what are they fighting for? who sent them under the bullets and in the name of what? who brought the people of one country together in this brutal conflict? He tries to attract public attention to issues of war and peace, to responsibility for what is happening there, in hot spots. Yuri Shchekochikhin is a man without weapons, but with the caliber of his extraordinary personality he significantly influences the course of events in the country.
