The "black tulip" is circling over the riverbank... The code name of the plane that took the dead soldiers home. The most interesting thing is that in old Russian war songs, the symbol of death is a black raven that circles over a dying soldier. That is, this line is a reference to old soldier songs.

The communists were probably more motivated by ideology, there isn't much motivation behind a foreign installed democratic state, especially since the communist state was not installed by the Soviets, but propped up by themselves and assisted by the Soviets later.

Basically, this unfortunate Soviet soldier get shot down in some version of the mig heli and he is surrounded and alone. All of his dead friends around him, one mag left in his AKM, both legs badly damaged in the crash, he hears the mujahideen soldiers approaching. As the soldier hits the Soviet over the hear with his rifle he pulls the pin on his grenade killing them both and anybody left in the room.

Кружит «чёрный тюльпан» над берегом реки… Перебиты, поломаны ноги, каждый звук отдаётся в мозгах, Да и жаль умирать мне, ей богу, о двадцати неполных годах. Слёзы льются, из глаз моих льются, а не могу я их удержать, Сам себе говорю: «Успокойся, а мы с улыбкой пойдём умирать!» Афган, Афган, Афган, Афган, Афганистан! Кружит «чёрный тюльпан» над берегом реки… Афган, Афган, Афган, Афган, Афганистан! Кружит «чёрный тюльпан» над берегом реки… Обложили меня, обложили, больше нет мне спасенья уйти, Подходите ко мне вы поближе, а встречу вас я, скотов, от души! Подошли ко мне, что-то горланят, один сунул прикладом в лицо, Кровь глаза заливает волнами… Что ж, прощайте! Я дёрнул кольцо… Афган, Афган, Афган, Афган, Афганистан! Кружит «чёрный тюльпан» над берегом реки… Афган, Афган, Афган, Афган, Афганистан! Кружит «чёрный тюльпан» над берегом реки… Афган, Афган, Афган, Афган, Афганистан! Кружит «чёрный тюльпан» над берегом реки… Афган, Афган, Афган, Афган, Афганистан! Кружит «чёрный тюльпан» над берегом реки (Слава Советскому Союзу.)

Afgan, Afgan, Afgan, Afgan, Afganistan! Kruzhit «chyornyy tyulʹpan» nad beregom reki… Afgan, Afgan, Afgan, Afgan, Afganistan! Kruzhit «chyornyy tyulʹpan» nad beregom reki… Perebity, polomany nogi, kazhdyy zvuk otdayot·sya v mozgakh, Da i zhalʹ umiratʹ mne, yey bogu, o dvadtsati nepolnykh godakh. Slyozy lʹyut·sya, iz glaz moikh lʹyut·sya, a ne mogu ya ikh uderzhatʹ, Sam sebe govoryu: «Uspokoysya, a my s ulybkoy poydyom umiratʹ!» Afgan, Afgan, Afgan, Afgan, Afganistan! Kruzhit «chyornyy tyulʹpan» nad beregom reki… Afgan, Afgan, Afgan, Afgan, Afganistan! Kruzhit «chyornyy tyulʹpan» nad beregom reki… Oblozhili menya, oblozhili, bolʹshe net mne spasenʹya uyti, Podkhodite ko mne vy poblizhe, a vstrechu vas ya, skotov, ot dushi! Podoshli ko mne, chto-to gorlanyat, odin sunul prikladom v litso, Krovʹ glaza zalivayet volnami… Chto zh, proshchayte! Ya dyornul kolʹtso… Afgan, Afgan, Afgan, Afgan, Afganistan! Kruzhit «chyornyy tyulʹpan» nad beregom reki… Afgan, Afgan, Afgan, Afgan, Afganistan! Kruzhit «chyornyy tyulʹpan» nad beregom reki… Afgan, Afgan, Afgan, Afgan, Afganistan! Kruzhit «chyornyy tyulʹpan» nad beregom reki… Afgan, Afgan, Afgan, Afgan, Afganistan! Kruzhit «chyornyy tyulʹpan» nad beregom reki…
