Ivin A

Private Internal Troops Andrei Ivin is a security guard in a strict regime zone He is absolutely not adapted to military service a typical humanist who left the historical and archival institute One summer he stands at night on duty on the tower A recidivist nicknamed Mishka Knyaz escapes Private Ivin could not shoot him and he was forced to go under the tribunal himself In an explanatory note he writes that he refuses to continue to dispose of someone elses life Under the supervision of the company commander Narotiev he is sent to the disbat Senior Lieutenant Narotiev is almost the same age as Ivin Its hard for him to believe that the private is telling the truth In his opinion the soldier was simply at a loss giving evidence and fell asleep at the post or perhaps chickened out
