Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Leaving Afghanistan (Russian: Братство, "Brotherhood") is a 2019 semi-biographical Russian war film directed by Pavel Lungin and co-written with his son, Alexander Lungin. It is partially based on the memoirs of Nikolai Kovalyov, the former head of the FSB who served in Afghanistan as a KGB officer.The movie is set in the last weeks of the Soviet war in Afghanistan. The 108th Motor Rifle Division is one of the last remaining Soviet units in the country. The path of their impending withdrawal will take them through the Salang Pass: a narrow, perilous mountain trail stalked by the Afghan Mujahideen. KGB colonel Dmitrich and his partner Volodya are tasked with finding a way for the remaining Soviet forces to make it safely through the final, most dangerous part of their withdrawal. The stakes only grow higher when Soviet Air Force pilot Sasha, the son of General Vasilyev, is shot down and taken prisoner by enemy fighters. The Soviet soldiers and operatives on the frontline must now find a way to secure their passage while dealing with the increasingly destructive results of the general's search for his son.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Bald of Evil: Sardar is a short-tempered Mujahideen commander who treats his prisoners roughly and tortures and beheads one of his own men for working with the Soviets behind his back.

Affably Evil: For a given value of "evil". Engineer Hashem is a polite, soft-spoken man who treats his captives reasonably (or at least better than his Dragon Sardar does) and is willing to negotiate with the Soviets to minimise the bloodshed on both sides. In fact, the movie never goes of its way to paint him as a villain, other than for the fact that he is opposed to the Soviet protagonists.
