Draft (1982)

From my Ukrainian archive .Military draft in small Ukrainian village.

It was the third year of our pointless presence in Afghanistan.Senseless presence for which we paid the price: 13 thousand young lives (official info).But we suspected, we lost more.

As I recall, nobody laughed among those people-friends and relatives-who came to say" bye" to young man and wish him luck,nobody even smiled and women's eyes were full of tears.
