Spanish students Starinov long used his science - they were in the French Resistance, the four fought in Castro's Cuba. But the age-old, returning from Spain, was at home in a vacuum: the former bosses and the majority of students were repressed. He, however, survived and even got into the heads of the Central Scientific-test rail landfill.
The catastrophe of the first weeks of the war forced the recall of guerrilla war. Views Starinov to organize a guerrilla movement were very different from the official. And surprisingly.

However, in the midst of the Cold War, his expertise is in demand again - his name is to teach the courses to improve officers, graduates of which later formed the basis of the famous group "Vympel", "Cascade", "Zenith".
