How Soviet people recall the Afghan War and its Aftermath?
The Forgotten War That Led to the USSR's Collapse

Description:
This powerful video offers a rarely heard perspective on the Soviet-Afghan War. Going beyond the propaganda and mainstream narratives of the time, this firsthand account exposes the harsh realities and lasting impacts of the war.
The video begins by exploring the public's initial reactions to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979, where state propaganda downplayed the situation's gravity. However, as the war dragged on and the Olympic boycott loomed, cracks began to appear in the official narrative.
The former soldier then shares harrowing experiences, including the story of a close friend who served in a reconnaissance and sabotage brigade. Despite his friend's reluctance to discuss details, the soldier paints a grim picture of atrocities committed, including the killing of civilians.
As the video progresses, it examines the war's broader consequences, such as the influx of unaccounted weapons into the Soviet Union, fueling conflicts and criminal activities after the USSR's collapse in the turbulent 1990s.
Through candid accounts and an examination of the war's aftermath, this video offers a sobering look at the human cost of the Soviet-Afghan War and its role in contributing to the downfall of the Soviet empire.
Warning: This video contains discussions of war violence and may be disturbing for some viewers.

The Most Typical Soviet Apartment Tour: 25 Years Untouched
Dear subscribers, Unfortunately, my husband Hakim is dealing with heart issues, and we are actively undergoing treatment. However, there’s a silver lining to this situation. Once he retire, we will have more time to focus on our channel. In addition, it looks like the channel should become a main source of income for us, so we truly appreciate your support. You can also support us on Patreon, we would be very grateful. At the moment, we have four videos ready-just waiting for our son to translate them. Thanks ♥♥♥ Julia patreon.com/SovietBorn
I like nu pogodi 🐺🐰
Perfect size flat, bigger than the ones we have today here in the UK, with some decoration this could become a very beautiful home again.
The only way to really compare is in the uk rental prices including electricity water start from approximately 60% of someone's take home pay of a the average worker. Some 2 bedroom flats are over 80% of the average earners take home pay and that's not including electric or gas just water. My daughter and her partner earn approximately £3,200 between them yet their small one bedroom flat costs £1,050 a month then £90 a month gas £70 electricity £173 a council tax £17 a month maintenance.And they say that'scheaper than some they viewed.
I have just seen your video and it is so interesting to see how people lived in other countries,with some TLC this apartment would be magnificent, it's actually bigger than the apartment I live in, thank you for sharing 😊💜
Can a person paint the walls or change things up if they want
Either speak English, или говорите по-Русский and add English subtitles; that simultaneous translation, of two confounding and rivaling sound tracks at once, is unlistenable.
I wonder where they went. They just walked away and left everything?
This was so very interesting. Thank you xx
Is it typical in Russia for people to just abandon their house and leave all their belongings behind? Were the last residents so rich that they can just drop and leave everything behind? Or did something happen to them?
Why would the owner leave and abandon all their belongings, even personal toiletries, food, and mementos of their life? Is the owner still alive if things in the home are 60-70 years old? Maybe the parents passed away and the adult children left it as is. That glass chandelier is beautiful but simple. I would put it in my dining room today.
Wonderful! I enjoyed this tour a lot. I am very interested in Soviet era decor and design. Thanks.
Before these appartments were built we had very bad living standards, these appartments were so holy when they were issued
I can't believe four people found enough storage for their basic clothes and belongings. Thank you for sharing this piece of history. Best wishes from the United States.
They did not have many things to store.
This was a very interesting tour. Thank you.
Mk ultra
someone has been in and dusted because it would be very dusty if it had not been lived in since 1990
Kazakhstan, i can see by books on shelf, Saken Saifulin,
Thank you for the journey into a fabulous history maybe the original owner was a sailor ? please ore great video's like this how about one on the buses in Russia now that would be good i had the opportunity to visit Ukraine some ten years ago and was fascinated to see Soviet era trams and buses also trains thank you for nice video god bless Russia.
Very nice , looks like a 1960,s uk home
I found it very interesting my mum was born in Poland and the flat reminds me of her family flat in Warsaw they are very big and the windows opened in wards because of the heavy snow I loved it there thank you for sharing ❤
I loved your video! I was born in 85 and this reminds me a lot of my grandmothers little house she shared with her mother. It was in the southern US so not exactly the same but the feeling of it reminds me of hers.
70 luv
putin futue where people money ritcheys word ridshays chantry
The TV and VCR looks like late 1980s or early 1990s because it didn't have dials. So maybe someone lived in it up until 90s.
So much respect, thank you for sharing. What a wonderful time capsule. This apartment is still luxury and big for me now 😅
Nice byt waaay too slow narration. Not for me. Voice bugs me. Sound of saliva makes me scream Misophonia sucks.😢cya.
VERY NICE AND INFORMATIVE BECAUSE WHEN YOU MEET A RUSKY THEY ALWAYS MAKE YOU BELIVE THEY WERE VERY WEALTHY IN RUSSIA AND ALL COM FROM MOSCAW 😂😂😂😂😂😂 NOW I NOT WHAT I BUNCH OF LIERS. 😂😂😂😂 THANK YOU LADY
Excellent! I thoroughly enjoyed it👍 I love everything vintage USSR.
очень интереснo
it looks like an old Italian apartment as well😊
Amazing video, thank you. It's so interesting to see this.
It looks like a museum, is it? A blast from the past. I've seen worse over here.
If this was affluence, I wonder what was considered standard or substandard? This is truly depressing..
Would love to see this Without voice over
This is truly fascinating and amazing. I hope they preserve this place as a museum forever. So interesting
Did they have digital blood pressure machines back then ?
Yes, it was only 25 years ago. So not that long ago.
This was amazing...The occupants must have been really well off ...
Theft disappeared when the Russians disappeared!🤣🤣 Tak tochno!! Well, we have a saying that "Russians will take anything that is not nailed to wall".🔨
nice. what city? What is today's value? why empty so many years? thx
It's very different from the USA. If this was a wealthy owner...what did the poor people's living conditions look like?
Every houses and apartments are different in all country's houses and apartments in the United Kingdom will look, much different than German houses and apartments
WOW! I am amazed how much the Afgan War played in the end of the USSR, right down to how veterans became hooligani! This is the first I'm hearing of this! Thank you for uploading this gem also! This gentleman is FULL of stories!
Thank you! Your feedback is very supportive, we will continue to produce similar videos.
Thanks for watching, and we hope you like it! Please check out our latest video about the Soviet-Afghan War: th-cam.com/video/Y-5y1-zVwuY/w-d-xo.html
100x better than slum in asia or usa
Absolutely wonderful, a true piece of history. As an American, I find all of this so fascinating, to see how you all lived then, truly ❤❤❤❤. Please upload (as a suggestion, of course) what was shopping at the supermarket and department stores like for you, and even information on the Berzoika stores.
Thanks, that sounds like a good idea! To be honest, we have plenty of different video topics in mind, but video production is quite time-consuming. Only this particular video turned out to be popular. Nevertheless, we will continue our work and search for the best video format. Regards, Julia
@@Soviet-Born I am so glad you like my suggestion! Thank you for your response. I really appreciate all the efforts you put into each video, the quality really shows. To me, already, this is a top channel about life in the Soviet Union.
Please upload more interviews such as these, and even interviews from people who lived through the last years of the USSR and witnessed first hand its collapse, increase in crime, economic issues, the uprisings in Lithuania and so forth. I truly am blessed to have been led to this channel. More of them need to show up! Bolshoe Spasiba!
Grim just doesn't describe it...
🙋 I really enjoyed the tour !
Very interesting. Thank you.
It’s still the same in Hungary to. I grow up just like that.
Ha, ha, before reading your comment, I was about to write the same.
An orange Galaxy cellphone box in the kitchen during the Soviet era? 😅
