This Russian soldier, he was on a few wars, in Afghanistan in Tajikistan and then in Chechnya.
He got in real battles and lost many of his friends in action, that’s a true story true soldier. Everywhere he went he took one thing with him that helped him to cope with all that. It was a simple ballpoint pen that he used to draw the most touching memories on the paper.

Why nobody likes Jewish people?
Whatever is your problem, easy to solve: eat poison and die. Solved.
Why do you hate Jewish people?
Oi vai! I love jewish peoples! : ) A lot of my friends are jewish!
Well mazal tov to that.
Why do you say that?
That’s impressive!
Really sad paintings…
Well great post anyway <3
He appears to be from Kazakhstan. Good people.
I was there (90s) and saw how superciliously Russians behaved to the Kazakhs in their own country. Hope it is better now.
Too bad the author did not draw a complete story about the Afghanistan War. Considering the success of “Persepolis”…:?:
It went both ways mate.. Lots of hate all over after USSR collapsed. Much sadness
.
But you must take into consideration that regions like Central Asia and Caucasus was developed strongly during Soviet Era (hell, even under Czarist era).
Sure, they took the oil from Kazakhstan i.e.
Did not do it for the sake of the people there. The peoples government did not care much for ‘the people’. Like today.
Are you false Kirov ?
One person can’t draw a “complete story”.
Without exaggeration I can say that I am pretty good in many fields of science, craftsmanship and music but I must honestly admire people with such skills as depicted in the pictures above. No matter what effort, it’d be impossible for most of us ever to develop such masterful skills in drawing.
Thanks for this post.
Vladimir
Beautiful artwork. This man has an amazing talent… I hope it carries him far.
Beautiful work, too bad the subject is so sad.
This required more that one ballpoint pen…
I think all of the woman must love jewelry,but not all of them can buy it for it’s high price,even the top brand like tiffany and gucci,but ,now,you can buy it from our website for lower price,come on.
Nice sales pitch Tiff!
My son is there now with USA forces.Will he draw the same drawings?
I wish US did not support Taliban during 1979-1989 war. I’m glad that Russia is on US side in Afghanistan today.
It was the way things were in those times. If one nation supported one group, then the other supported whoever opposed them. Afghanistan was the USSR’s Vietnam. The USSR fought the USA in a proxy war during both Vietnam and Korea by sending supplies, and in some cases, soldiers and pilots to fight in secret against American forces. We did the same in Afghanistan. As the saying goes: “The enemy of my enemy is my friend.” Now times are different. It is still a world with two opposing ideologies fighting each other, but this time it is harder to draw borders around them.
Just two? Over simplify much?
Great works! Amazing! Loved it.
These are fanastic!
Wow, Amazing Pictures there.
Sad, and the worst part is, no one is going to win a war there…
Very special, thx.
If the west only knew then the monster that it was creating for itself
Amazingly vibrant photos
Its sad to see the brave mujaheddin pointing the stinger missile at a transport plane
How evil it all.
And its come back to bite us
If only they could be put into cold storage to hibernate for 2 million years
The #5 commenter, Vladimir put it wonderfully.
And Mr. Put these Creeps in Cold Storage ( #15 ), I am Muslim ( in india unfortunately ) and a Socialist. In india, it is the Burqa-and-Beard types who join the Hindu religious parties in their ‘Minority Cells’. My type created a saying in Urdu in the old days – Woh naya Musalmaan hai, paanch waqt ki namaaz padega hee. Which is, He’s a new Muslim, therefore he will pray five times a day. This type, the U.S recruited . My type were as much on the opposing side as the U.S.S.R. Indeed the Afghan government at that time was Socialist. Saddam Hussain did not run away, nor did Najibullah of that Afghn government.
“Fresh meat” needed – always.
US forces have no chance. Allah Akbar! Bravo Taliban !
just saw some footage about CANADIAN snipers taking out/virtually evaporating a lot of very brave mujahadeens or talibans from hill tops and behind the rocks in the mountains of Afganistan with a .50 caliber rifles withit aprox. distance of 2-2.5 km
VERY IMPRESSIVE !!! But only for Strong stomach…
