Granitsy Afganistana [Borders of Afghanistan]

The author of the book, who for a long time headed the headquarters of the Border Troops of the Soviet Union, vividly and with deep knowledge describes the Afghan events that followed the April 1978 revolution and undoubtedly influenced the history of our country. The weak security of the borders of Afghanistan contributed to the strengthening and equipment of the rebel formations that used the tactics of guerrilla, sabotage and terrorist actions. A direct participant in many operational and strategic decisions and actions, he was able to draw serious conclusions from those tragic events that have not lost their significance today, especially in connection with the ‘Chechen problem’ and the growing wave of terrorism.
