19.10.1953 -COMMUNIST, CHEKIST, HERO
Afghanistan left a tragic mark in the hearts of hundreds of thousands of Soviet people. The time has come to tell about the fact that in this difficult war, along with soldiers and officers, army security officers participated in all military affairs. The harsh school of Afghanistan, shoulder to shoulder with the soldiers, went through the military counter-intelligence officers, who were fulfilling their duty to ensure the security of a limited contingent of Soviet troops.
One of them is Boris Sokolov. His Afghan everyday life was not much different from the everyday life of hundreds of other military counterintelligence officers who deserved the good memory of everyone with whom fate brought them together on the dangerous roads of Afghanistan. They exposed and suppressed many espionage and sabotage terrorist acts of the rebels and their Western patrons against the Soviet troops, and dozens of servicemen of the Soviet Army were released from captivity.
From the presentation of Captain Sokolov Boris Innokentevich to the title of Hero of the Soviet Union:
"He took part in 64 operations with a total duration of 269 days. During the operations, he showed courage, bravery and courage. He acted confidently in a difficult combat situation, made competent decisions, and more than once ensured the successful completion of combat missions by the unit."
In combat conditions, the business qualities of an officer are in full view, and even more so for him, a Chekist. So it was on that March day in 1984, when, during the landing of Soviet soldiers on helicopters, they came under heavy fire from the gang. Sokolov and the chief of staff, Major Yakushev, managed to organize an effective defense, ensuring the landing of soldiers in combat vehicles. And the last to leave the battle.
In war, it is difficult to separate the life of an Aramaic counterintelligence officer from the military everyday life of other Soviet officers. Only, perhaps, it is a little more difficult for a counterintelligence officer, because he also has his own, KGB tasks. However, the opponent does not discount this.
In January 1984, Sokolov and senior lieutenant A. Golovin seized important documents containing information about the involvement of Western intelligence services in major hostile actions against Afghanistan, lists of rebel agents. The price for this is a terrible battle, in which Boris also participated.
More than once, the communist Sokolov had to take command in critical combat situations. This happened in February 1984, when Boris, shell-shocked, still managed to lead the unit and withdraw it from the battle with minimal losses.
And one more, perhaps the most significant touch in the combat biography of Boris Sokolov. The Chekist unit in which he served was actively engaged in the release of Soviet soldiers who were captured. This work, always associated with mortal risk, required great personal courage and readiness for self-sacrifice from military counterintelligence officers: one had to have great self-control and courage to go unarmed to the camps of dushmans and negotiate with them at gunpoint. Many Soviet servicemen were then helped to return to their mothers.
Until recently, Boris Sokolov was one of those heroes about whom it was impossible to write. Now, as you can see, they write about it, and even in posters.

An excerpt characterizing Sokolov, Boris Innokent'evich
The girl was ready to go out of her way just to get her incredible “miracle dragon”, and this “miracle” puffed and puffed, apparently trying her best to please, as if she felt that it was about him ...– When will you come again? Are you coming very soon, dear girls? - secretly dreaming that we will come very soon, the little girl asked.
Stella and I were separated from them by a shimmering transparent wall...
– Where do we start? – the seriously worried girl asked seriously. “I’ve never seen anything like this, but I haven’t been here for so long… Now we have to do something, right?… We promised!”
- Well, let's try to "put on" their images, as you suggested? Without thinking for a long time, I said.
Stella quietly “conjured” something, and in a second she looked like round Leah, but, of course, Mom got me, which made me laugh a lot ... And we put on ourselves, as I understood, just energy images, with the help of whom we hoped to find the missing people we needed.
- This is the positive side of using other people's images. And there is also a negative one - when someone uses it for bad purposes, like the entity that put on grandmother's "key" so that she could beat me. This is what Grandma told me...
It was funny to hear how this tiny girl stated such serious truths in a professorial voice ... But she really took everything very seriously, despite her sunny, happy character.
- Well - let's go, "girl Leah"? I asked with great impatience.
I really wanted to see these, other, "floors" while I still had enough strength for this. I had already noticed what a big difference there was between this, in which we were now, and the "upper", Stella's "floor". Therefore, it was very interesting to quickly "plunge" into another unfamiliar world and learn about it, if possible, as much as possible, because I was not at all sure if I would return here sometime.
– And why is this “floor” much denser than the previous one, and more filled with entities? I asked.
“I don’t know…” Stella shrugged her fragile shoulders. – Maybe because only good people live here, who did no harm to anyone while they lived in their last life. That's why there are more of them. And upstairs there live entities that are “special” and very strong…” she laughed at that. "But I'm not talking about myself, if that's what you're thinking!" Although my grandmother says that my essence is very old, more than a million years... It's terrible, how many, right? How do you know what happened a million years ago on Earth?.. - the girl said thoughtfully.
“Maybe you weren’t on Earth then?”
– Where?!.. – Stella asked dumbfounded.
- Well I do not know. Can't you see? I wondered.
It seemed to me then that with her abilities, EVERYTHING is possible! .. But, to my great surprise, Stella shook her head negatively.
- I still know very little, only what my grandmother taught me. “As if regretfully,” she replied.
