Why the communication

Asshole!
Afghanistan, Chaugani, February 9th 1989
We were leaving Afghanistan.
We, the 9th company.
Have won our own war.
Back then, we haven't known a lot of things
We haven'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 haven'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 haven'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 haven't known then.
We even didn't know 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
