The Truth About 9th Company, (Russian: Правда о девятой роте) is the first Russian documentary computer game. The game simulates the historical battle for Hill 3234 which took place on 7–8 January 1988 in southern Afghanistan between Soviet paratroop units of the 345th Independent Guards Airborne Regiment and mujahideen.
The game was made in response to the 2005 Russian film The 9th Company." which deviated extensively in terms of historical accuracy for the sake of the narrative. Famed Russian translator, writer and activist Dmitry 'Goblin' Puchkov was the ideological leader and inspirer of development, and announced the idea of the game as a response to "the intentional destruction of historical memory of the people".
