The Afghan Syndrome

Storyline

The "Afghan syndrome" is the diagnosis of the last generation of Soviet people. This is one of the reasons for the death of the country in which they lived. Since then, Afghanistan has become no stranger to us — and remains so decades later. We perceive any news and stories from there as concerning us. Only after studying the Afghan epic — from the party meetings of the seventies to the mountain code of honor "Pashtunvalai" — can we understand what kind of society we live in today.
