Asshole!
Afghanistan, Chaugani, February 9th 1989
We were leaving Afghanistan.
We, the 9th company. Have won our own war.
Back then, we hadn't known a lot of things
We hadn't known, that two years later the country we had been fighting for will vanish.
And wearing the medals of non existing country will become unfashionable.
We hadn't known that Lieutenant Dygalo will stay in standing army.
And train recruits somewhere near Tula
He will die of a stroke, a year later During a night march.
We hadn't known that Snow White with her mother and lots of other Russian families.
Will stay in the abandoned army city on the Afghani border and disappear.
And we ourselves will be scattered ruthlessly, by the new life.
Some to the top, and some to the very bottom.
Non of this we hadn't known then.
We even Hadn't known that we were simply forgotten in the bustle of the huge army's withdraw
On that remote height.
We were leaving Afghanistan...
The 9th company
We, we won.
This film is based on real events That took place on January 8th, 1988 In Houst province, height 3234
