Description

The fall of the Soviet Union marked a pivotal moment in world history, as the Russian Federation's collapse sent shockwaves across the nation. In 1995, Russia regained control of the Caucasus region, thwarting a violent Chechen rebellion that had been brewing. Alexander Prokhanov recounts this tumultuous period, shedding light on the brutal realities faced by those involved. Prokhanov's account is a raw and unflinching portrayal of the events surrounding New Year's Eve in 1995, when Russian troops attacked the Presidential Palace in Grozny. He exposes the cruelty of careerist bureaucrats, the cynicism of foreign bankers, and the honor and duty of Russian soldiers who fought to preserve their nation. This first-hand account is a crucial addition to our collection, offering a unique perspective on recent Russian history and the story of those who fought to protect their country's integrity.
