About the book: 2015 / Alexander Sladkov is the most experienced and famous Russian war correspondent. He has his own weekly TV program and never leaves hot spots. He is rarely recognized on the street or in the subway, despite his very characteristic appearance - after all, in the frame he is almost always wearing a helmet and body armor, and the uniform is depersonalizing. But it’s easy to recognize Sladkov by his intonation - he reports professionally (both as an officer and as a journalist), without pathos, hysteria or stress, he honestly describes and comments on what he sees. Military correspondent Sladkov, unfortunately, saw a lot. Enough not only for television films and reports, but also for many books. The first one is in front of you.
