Parents flooded the Ministry of Defense with letters - how is it that they just received a message from their son: “Wait, I’ll come in a month.” And then a zinc coffin. And therefore, in 1987, an order was issued: demobilization in Afghanistan should not be involved in combat operations. But there weren’t enough people, and the dischargers themselves didn’t mind—time flies faster in a raid. So Yura, Khasan, Nurlan and Ural - the “grandfathers of the Soviet Army”, the crew of the BTR-472 - went to the regimental operation. From first blood to last blood - the path of every soldier in that war.
