"Zinc Boys" - the third book of the fiction and documentary cycle "Voices of Utopia" by Svetlana Alexievich, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature "for her multi-voiced work - a monument to the suffering and courage of our time". Without this book, which has long been a world bestseller, it is no longer possible to imagine either the history of the Afghan war or the history of the last years of Soviet power, finally undermined by this war. The grief of mothers is unforgettable, their desire to know the truth about how and for what their sons fought and died in Afghanistan is understandable. But, having learned this truth, many of them were horrified and gave it up. Svetlana Alexievich's book was tried "for libel" - by a real court, with a prosecutor, public prosecutors and "support groups" in the government and in the press. The materials of this shameful trial are also included in the new edition of The Zinc Boys.
