Never before has any journalist in the world survived there for so many years. Thirteen! International journalist and head of the RIA Novosti representative office in Kabul, Andrei Greshnov, worked in Afghanistan for thirteen years. Before his eyes, the war-torn country was bathed in blood several times. He saw Kabul stormed by the Taliban. He also interviewed the most brutal leaders of the Mujahideen. He filmed American soldiers who behaved rudely in villages and towns. He talked about all this in his book. About what happened in Afghanistan after the Soviet troops left there. About what the country has become AFTER US... US Army Sergeant Kelvin Gibbs admitted in court that he, Jeremy Morlock and several other soldiers carried out a terrible massacre among the civilian population of Kandahar province for the sake of “sporting interest.” The brave warriors cut off the fingers and knocked out the teeth of dead Afghans, dismembered and photographed the corpses. The Americans kept the bones of the dead as souvenirs. They themselves called themselves the “Murder Squad”, without even trying to veil their actions or explain them by some insurmountable circumstances. There, near Kandahar, something happened to the American soldiers, they instantly turned into brutal sadists. Or maybe it happened before?
