Especially if it's from someone who actually fought there. I can only read English and a fair amount of German
There are barely any notable books even in Russian.
Free Fall: A Sniper's Story from Chechnya. Nicolai Lilin
No idea if it's true or not
>Nicolai Lilin
He's a fiction writer. As I recall, his "sniper memoirs" are a sequel to Siberian Education.
"Jihad! The Secret War in Afghanistan" by Tom Carew is unironically pretty good, as long as you dont mind that he never actually was an SAS soldier and that the story is completely made up.
The Bear went over the Mountain: Soviet Combat tactics in Afghanistan
Well written but pretty dry if you're not genuinely interested in infantry tactics
Zinky Boys
