This is an automatically translated description

This book breathes the hot air of events at the turn of the century - the collapse of the Soviet Union, the birth of independent states and the conflicts that erupted as a result of the collapse of a powerful and sick empire. Without pathos and embellishment, the authors of the book tell about their participation in battles and riots in Transnistria, Abkhazia, Chechnya, Belarus and other hotspots of modern history.

The genre is a reportage with elements of essay, historical excursions, and philosophical observations. The text is tough, sometimes cruel. But how can un-cooled volcanic lava be gentle? You can agree or disagree with the authors and their views and approaches. But one cannot help but strive to find out how it really was. Otherwise, we are doomed to a new round of lies and pharisaism, external and internal censorship.
