Here is the story of a Soviet soldier, who fell to the captivity of Afghan mujahidin during the war in the 1980s. After nearly four decades, he feels Afghan not Russian
The 56-year-old Sherefovic Hakimov, a former Soviet military personnel, no longer identifies himself as Russian. He lives in Afghanistan’s Herat city as a Muslim and an Afghan. His brother, Alexandre, was a Russian deputy in the country’s parliament, and his sister, Mabuba, worked as an adviser for the Soviet military. His parents were also high-ranking officials in the Soviet army. His father, an ethnic Armenian, was a general and his mother, a Ukrainian Jew, worked for Soviet intelligence.
“La ilaha illallah Muhammedun Rasulullah”, which means “there is no god but God and Muhammad is His prophet,” is considered as the declaration of belief in Islam. By uttering these words, a non-Muslim can enter Islam and become a Muslim. "We became friends after I converted to Islam…I became both his employee and his son. He got me married. He gave [me] a house," he added.
Both his parents are dead. Being away from his siblings for decades has taken a mental toll on him. He misses his brother and sister a lot.
