2005 R 2h 19m 7.1

A group of Russian army recruits complete training and take their posting in late-1980s Afghanistan, where the insurgents are slowly gaining the upper hand.

The film tells about the fate of a group of seven recruits, called up for military service in the Armed Forces of the USSR in the late 1980s from Krasnoyarsk, and after several months of training sent to the DRA. The picture partially describes the events that occurred in early 1988, during Operation Magistral, when the paratroopers of the 9th company of the 345th separate paratrooper regiment took battle at Hill 3234.
