The initial official version of the Ukrainian military about their non-involvement in the incident was hardly believable at once. One could wonder what they would say when everything was cleared up.

NEW BOOKS

Shchyolokov A. Destroy Israel... - M.: Vargus, 2001

The political thriller "Destroy Israel..." came from print not long before the monstrous acts of terrorism in New York and Washington. The author, being an specialist in Oriental studies andIslam, foresaw how far fanatics could go in realizing the idea of creating Islamic caliphate.

Arabic sheikhs and Uzbek extremists, Afghan talibs and Chechen bandits are the characters of the author's version of how the nuclear weapons were taken over and attack on Israel was launched. The goal of the operation was to radically change the geopolitical situation in the Middle East...

The plot of Shchyolokov's book would have seemed fantastic before September 11, 2001. Now it is taken as a fatal prophecy, an absolutely real scenario of Islamic terrorists' actions, a part of their global war plan against the civilized world for creating a new world order.

The chapters in the book go in a chronological order according to the time when the person came into Zinoviy Gerdt's life. Every chapter starts with my introduction, where I tell about this person and the way they met with Gerdt".

The book starts with the chapter by Isay Kuznetsov, who knew Gerdt before the war, and ends with the writer Matvey Geyzer. Mikhail Shveyzer, Eldar Ryazanov, Lyudmila Gurchenko, Alexander Shirvindt and many others share their memories about the great actor.
