>Can't find the actual origin of the lyrics

It is pretty hard to find for these songs. For example, some person named Doroshenko found by google most times with this song, but looks like he isn't author.

This is genre of "army songs" that rarely have known author, it is folk-origin songs by design. There are plenty of them about Afghan and Chechnya, mostly about VDV (paratroops) because they are specific people. They are performed by multiple singers and bands, mostly veteran-oriented (made from former soldiers from wars, or just army-related).

Musically it is typical song for style called "bard song" here - mostly acoustic guitar, centered around lyrics and without really noticeable music line (music must be pretty simple to be played by amateurs). Lyrics often pretty sad and melancholic, about war etc. These songs aren't really popular, but style is known.

Here is unorthodox performance of another song (about Chechnya) from unrelated to army singer.
