Putin's 'Viper' Detachment

"Putin's 'Viper' Detachment" by Igor R. Salikov offers a deep insight into the secret operations that took place during the unrest in Ukraine. The author, a former commander of the Redut, recounts his experiences and the challenges he faced during his time as the leader of a special unit in Donetsk. Following the collapse of the Soviet Union and the subsequent revival of nationalist aspirations under Vladimir Putin, the Redut became a central player in the military conflicts that shaped the region. Salikov describes the emergence of sabotage teams and the role he played as a "Viper" in these operations. Particularly revealing is his account of a secret mission aimed at infiltrating the Ukrainian security agency and destroying crucial information. This book is not only a personal narrative but also a critical analysis of the geopolitical tensions that continue to influence the region today.
