It’s not often that you read a book by a former employee of the First Main Directorate of the KGB of the USSR (SVR). Moreover, there are no former intelligence officers. In addition, one of them saved an entire country from a terrible death in the arms of the merciless Yersinia pestis mutatio. The Soviet doomsday weapon was supposed to save thousands of lives of Soviet soldiers in February 1988, making a mass exodus from Afghanistan, engulfed in the flames of war. But - to destroy not only enemies, but civilian Afghans. Will the KGB officer, who by the will of fate and his superiors was thrown from prosperous Sweden straight into the lair of the ferocious Lion of Panjshir - Ahmad Shah Massoud, take on his conscience the death of these people? After all, it is he who is entrusted with launching the diabolical scenario of a local Apocalypse for Afghanistan. Soviet, Swedish and American “offices” weave intrigues and conspiracies in the mortal struggle. And the stake in this fight is greater than life. How the fate of the planet will turn depends on the decision of Lieutenant Colonel of the KGB Foreign Intelligence Service Matvey Alekhin. All similarities with real people and events in this book are coincidental. Or - not random. Decide for yourself.
