The smell of fried meat still blows over the island of Damansky. It was such a message that sounded on the Radio "Freedom" on March 17, 1969.
What happened in March 1969 on distant Ussuri? How did it happen that two ideologically close countries put the world on the face of a nuclear disaster?
The most incredible rumors went about these events in the USSR - they whispered that after shelling "Grads", half of the island of Damansky went under the water, that our troops used combat lasers against the Chinese, etc. In the "Shadow" of Damansky, other Soviet -Chinese clashes of 1969 remained - near the village of Dulata and on Lake Zhalanashkol, where the Maoists again violated the border, but were knocked out with losses back to their territory.
Being a direct participant in these events, having access to the most closed and classified information, the author restores the course of the Soviet-Chinese conflict in all details, evaluating the tactics, the level of combat training and the real loss of the parties
