"Zinc Boys" is the third book in the fiction and documentary series "Voices of Utopia" by Svetlana Alexievich, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature "for polyphonic creativity - a monument to the suffering and courage of our time." Without this book, which has long become 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, which was completely undermined by this war. The grief of the mothers is inexhaustible, and their desire to find out the truth about how and why their sons fought and died in Afghanistan is understandable. But upon learning this truth, many of them were horrified and rejected it. 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.
