However, the enemies Babchenko faced in the realm of journalism proved just as relentless as those on the battlefield.

His resilience was put to the ultimate test on May 29, 2018. News broke that Babchenko had been assassinated, leaving a nation and the international community in a state of shock and mourning. But, in a plot twist worthy of the silver screen, the world discovered that his death had been cunningly staged to expose a Russian-backed assassination plot.
The revelation sent shockwaves around the globe, shining a spotlight on the dangers faced by brave individuals who pursue justice and truth in the face of adversity. It also served as a powerful reminder of the unwavering spirit of Arkady Babchenko, who fearlessly stared death in the face for the greater good.

A visceral and unflinching memoir of a young Russian soldier’s experience in the Chechen wars.
In 1995, Arkady Babchenko was an eighteen-year-old law student in Moscow when he was drafted into the Russian army and sent to Chechnya. It was the beginning of a torturous journey from naïve conscript to hardened soldier that took Babchenko from the front lines of the first Chechen War in 1995 to the second in 1999. He fought in major cities and tiny hamlets, from the bombed-out streets of Grozny to anonymous mountain villages. Babchenko takes the raw and mundane realities of war the constant cold, hunger, exhaustion, filth, and terror and twists it into compelling, haunting, and eerily elegant prose.
Acclaimed by reviewers around the world, this is a devastating first-person account of war that brilliantly captures the fear, drudgery, chaos, and brutality of modern combat. An excerpt of One Soldier’s War was hailed by Tibor Fisher in The Guardian as “right up there with Joseph Heller’s Catch-22 and Michael Herr’s Dispatches.” Mark Bowden, bestselling author of Black Hawk Down, hailed it as “hypnotic and terrifying” and the book won Russia’s inaugural Debut Prize, which recognizes authors who write despite, not because of, their life circumstances.
“If you haven’t yet learned that war is hell, this memoir by a young Russian recruit in his country’s battle with the breakaway republic of Chechnya, should easily convince you.” —Publishers Weekly
