Прокрался в Гардиан:

There was IL-2 Sturmovik: Battle of Stalingrad, a detailed flight simulator based on the second world war’s eastern front and The Truth About 9th Company, a “documentary game” in which the player experiences the historic battle for Hill 3234 during the Soviet war in Afghanistan.

Whilst IL-2 Sturmovik could be seen as a love letter to military aeroplanes, The Truth About 9th Company was a political statement. Dmitry Puchkov, an English-to-Russian film and games translator, claims he inspired the project, calling it a reaction to the erosion of Russia’s “historical memory” and a counterpoint to the “lies” about Russian military history.

Не “lies”, а lies.
