A reminder how war can be

This is not a Hollywood style film. Is a bitter reminder of Afghan war for former Soviet Union Army. And I am still with a question what army was doing in Afghanistan. Except loses, human pain, a war is shown. I have my respect to all solders who fought there and I consider this film as a tribute to all of them.
