About the book: 1969 / "Kara-Kurt" - "Black Death" - the most poisonous spider in Central Asia. This is how the fascist swastika was called in our southern republics during the Great Patriotic War. Hitler’s agents did a tremendous amount of work in Iran with the goal of preparing a fascist coup to inflict a fatal blow on the Soviet Union from the south. The Soviet government was forced (based on paragraph 6 of the cooperation agreement with Iran and mutual assistance concluded in 1921) urgently introduce regular units of the Red Army into Iran. This measure not only secured our country from the invasion of fascist hordes from the south, but also protected the territory of Iran from destruction, preserved the independence of the neighboring state, hundreds of thousands of lives of young Iranians, Kurds, Russians, Turkmen, Farsians, Azerbaijanis. The main plot of the novel “Kara-Kurt” "(the second book of the novel "Black Golden Eagle") is subordinated to showing the complex and acute struggle of the Central Asian border district with agents of Nazi intelligence, who continuously organized military sabotage and political provocations before and after our troops crossed the border. Author, participant in the Patriotic War, A. V. Chekhov is known to our readers from the books published in Military Publishing House: the story “At the Very Border”, the collection of short stories “Trace in the Desert”, the novel “Black Golden Eagle”».
