Evangelist Billy Graham talks about General Borisov:
"Have you heard about General Borisov, who was the Deputy Commander in the Afghanistan war, a few years ago, for the Russians, when they invaded Afghanistan? He had 100,000 troops under his command... While on inspection trip his helicopter was hit... During those last few seconds before hitting the ground... began to cry out to God for mercy. God heard his cry and saved him... He's now a very loving and modest man who radiates Christ...

...Years before his native land dropped the hammer and sickle, Russian General Slava Borisov picket up the cross. It happened in 1994 after General Borisov - then an atheist and deputy chief commander of the Soviet invasion force in Afghanistan - survived a helicopter crush that killed the 11 other soldiers on board.
...General Borisov said he was heavily criticized after his conversion to Christianity. But he said he senses a change within the military and estimates that about 15 percent of the 2.5 million Russian soldiers are devout Christians.
"St. Petersburg Times" December, 6 1998
He once commanded 100,000 Soviet troops in that country's war against Afghanistan...
Borisov who now lives in Moscow, was the only survivor of that helicopter crush. Hospitalized for six months, he was given little chance of recovery... God, however, blessed him with a miracle.
