Soviet Music to make you feel like you're in Afghanistan

[@Zonewalker04]

I don’t understand why people in the comments have to make things Political. How does a music playlist get compared to the war in Ukraine? Because it’s Russian music? It makes no sense. This has nothing to do with the war in Ukraine. I’m tired of seeing cringe comments. Go on, argue with me. Try and fill your own egotistical views upon me. You’ll only prove that you’re an edgy kid. I ain’t gonna argue back so it’ll be interesting to see the comments that I get back. If I had gotten asked on what side I choose in the War in Ukraine? Neither. I don’t care about the war because it doesn’t have to do anything with me. I don’t like seeing people hurt for no reason because it’s unnecessary. I have friends from both Ukraine and Russia and they are chill with each other so why can’t you?

Those who did had been convinced that it was for the safety of the USSR out of concern that Americans would put missiles in Afghanistan, which was made up bullshit.

He regretted leaving behind his uniform and medals but he was not safe in Ukraine so he moved in with family in the Netherlands. As a side note, he’s able to speak Ukrainian, Russian, Czech, Arabic, Farsi and Pashto because of his deployments and is learning English. He’s in his early 70s and quite the character.

My brother was in the Afghanistan war. He came home around 1986/87. Traumatized. He died in 1988 at the age of 22. It broke my heart. My family was destroyed because of it. I like listening to Viktor Tsoi. We live in Kazakhstan. War sucks. It destroys people, destroys dreams. Mothers cry for their sons. People lose brothers, fathers... No to war!!

I've been looking for a band to compete with the Smith for a while now and I know I have finally found it with Kino. Also, I was already deep into Russian lit (Dostoevsky, Gogal, Checkov) and I started learning Russian about a month ago. It feels like the universe wanted me to discover Kino.

Hello, comrades. I would like to say thank you to the author for the selection of music. I haven't listened in a long time. If we had also made a video sequence, it would have been great. Regarding the war in Afghanistan itself. Soviet troops were brought in to help the Afghan government in the fight against Islamic radicals. Yes, yes, don't be surprised. Against those radicals who have seized power in Iran. They tried to seize power in Saudi Arabia by taking more than 3,000 people hostage in the main mosque. And so they came to Afghanistan

[@АлександрНазин-в3в]

With the full support of the Government of Pakistan. Afghanistan bordered the Soviet Union, so radicals could not be allowed to come to power. Unfortunately, the war dragged on. However, the Oadikals did not calm down and in the 90s attacked Tajikistan, as well as carried out a number of terrorist attacks against the American army. And 11.09 New York. And Soviet soldiers fought to prevent these terrorist attacks

L'islamisme dangereux en Afghanistan n'a pu émerger que par la faute des Etats-Unis qui les ont financer pour pouvoir gagner la guerre froide quand ils ont vu que l'URSS était affaiblit par l'Afghanistan. L'islamisme religieux, et le 11 septembre ne sont que des retour de bâton du financement des talibans et nationalistes afghans par les Etats-Unis. L'URSS a imposé une vision du monde autoritaire lorsqu'ils ont envahit l'Afghanistan, tout ceux qui n'étaient pas d'accord étaient des "capitalistes" et étaient mis sur liste noir du kgb, les soviétiques ont été des salopards et ont seulement contribué à la prise de pouvoir du pays par les talibans maintenant, tout comme les Etats-Unis.
