Very good Afgan movie.
Finally we made a good Afgan war movie.
Vsem rysskim jelayu posmotret.
Was there volunteers for going to Afgan?
Something unbielevable
Alikas, trust me there were those who wanted to go to Afghanistan..... but there were only few of a kind.
Mostly it was obligatory to serve in the army and if you are somewhere near the military "goingons" you are to go on war for sure.... no matter if you want it or not. it was not cause you were ordered... it was cause you have this honour. some even wanted to join the battalions which would go to Afghanistan cause it was no sitting asses in the army some place in Siberia or Eastern Germany. But mostly guys of 18 never been asked if they want or not.... THEY WERE JUST SENT to this useless war.

Yes, there were. And many of them. I personally know people who been there. All of them were volunteers...But it's not because they wanted to kill some Afghans and burn some kishlaks. They didn't actually know where they were going...The image of the Afghan campaign in Soviet Union was..let's say something different from what it has been for real..They thought that "international duty" means to protect civil MAJORITY from armed MINORITY and to build roads, houses, schools etc.
...and they realy did build roads, schools etc. and the people from Afgan went to USSR for studies, but when USSR left many of simple people said why? And now many of those who did so is now scattered across the world. I know one such person - intelegent and educated, he speaks russian, ... but he has to work 24/7 now in shop for someone else in a seamingly industrial, democratic and educated country. ... as to the quality as well as the contents of the movie - "two tumbs donw"
