As it is written in one famous poem: It's bad in war without a joke, If despondency is a misfortune! A warrior has no need to go, Humor will always help out! The book of A. Platonov, head of the 1st department of the Anti-Terrorism Department of the FSB of Russia, is comparable in its sparkling humor to the immortal creation of Alexander Tvardovsky "Vasily Terkin." No wonder another name for the famous poem is "The Book about the Fighter." And the heroes of A. M. Platonov's book are fighters of an invisible front, although they do not act in war, but, as they say, "in conditions close to combat": at border outposts of the Far East, on the Kuril Islands, on foreign "business trips." These are the Chekists, whose shoulders are entrusted with the greatest responsibility for protecting the peaceful peace of our Motherland. They, like no one else, need to "relax" after a fight over a glass of "tea," sit, joke - sharply, but without fear. It happens that a harsh organ employee finds himself in a funny situation.
