ABSTRACT
El’murod Alovakov was born in 1962 in the kishlak of Shirgovad, in Vanch Raion. From 1982 to 1984 he served with a limited contingent of Soviet soldiers in the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan. El’murod Alovakov asked to go where it was heaviest, to Afghanistan. His Russian language lessons helped, as did his attraction to fighting. He got into various scrapes, which his boldness, physical strength, and his cleverness got him out of. The backbone of the club was made up of fellows who had fulfilled their internationalist duty in the limited contingent of Soviet soldiers in Afghanistan. At that time the club’s agit-brigade of seven men took part in an agit-train of the Central Committee of the Turkmen Komsomol, called the “Leninist Crew,” which went to Bakharden to speak to students at the agricultural institute and to the foreign language department of the medical institute.
