“We saw the mountains at the bottom of the plane through the window and realized that something was wrong. Then they grouped up, strike. I woke up and crawled out of the snow,” said Syvorotkin. 

The Russian added that the morning after the crash he went to a nearby village for help.

“I came to the village and asked that a search party of local residents go after my friends,” he shared.

According to Syvorotkin, after this, representatives of the Taliban* movement arrived there, and in the morning they sent a rescue helicopter for the Russians.

Earlier it became known that four Russians who were on the plane that crashed in Afghanistan arrived in Russia.
