Soviet War in Afghanistan, 1979-1989Related content
Comments: 67
Landed on the hilltop, soviet forces are in place
Awaiting orders!
They were only 39
They were told to hold the line
In control
Sent into battle, came from the sky
Trapped on a mountain, and into the fire
Hold your ground
When you're fighting those who fight
Death is waiting on the hill
No surrender, shoot to kill
You have to
Hold your ground
Kill the warrior in your sight
Death is waiting on the hill
No surrender, shoot to kill
January 7th, hold the hilltop at all costs
Follow orders!
Holding their ground
To the final round
One by one
Fight through the sundown, into the night
Enduring the darkness, awaiting the light
Hold your ground
When you're fighting those who fight
Death is waiting on the hill
No surrender, shoot to kill
You have to
Hold your ground
Kill the warrior in your sight
Death is waiting on the hill
No surrender, shoot to kill
Stand, hold your ground
Come around
Hostile land
Your last stand
Under fire low on munitions,
Make your bullets count
Push their warriors back down the mountain,
Rule the battlefront
Sent into battle, came from the sky
Trapped on a mountain, and into the fire
Hold your ground
When you're fighting those who fight
Death is waiting on the hill
No surrender, shoot to kill
You have to
Hold your ground
Kill the warrior in your sight
Death is waiting on the hill
No surrender, shoot to kill

And in 1979 in Afghanistan there were no American instructors, as in Vietnam, Russian ...

Wow!
Your works are amaizing. Goog job 
And can you please draw Poland in the battle of Westerplatte?

I love the detail on this!
I saw at one point you were taking requests...? And you seem to mainly draw the Eastern European countries
I was wondering, if you get the chance, even though it's not really history, maybe you could draw something based on the civil war in Ukraine going on now? (With Russia occupying the south-easterly half and western countries trying to prevent an invasion or something)

Whoa! These are truly incredible works. But it looks like you haven't made any new ones in a while, please tell me you're still doing these?

yknow, USSR also built infrastructure in afghanistan. Really. Schools, hospitals, roads... [sarcasm]Bloody russian barbarians invaded their towns, leaving there hospitals, schools, roads[/sarcasm]. Can you say the same about NATO troops who stay in afgnanistan now?
Also, there were not "revolt made by afghan people which hate communism" really, general people don't fraggin care about ideology. It was just a coup, which could lead afghanistan into state of another "peacfull american military base with short and mid-range US missiles armed with nukes". USSR did not enjoyed that perspecitve, so they choose to invade.
Just like US did many times, when communistic forces took control of some countries on american backyard (or that countries resources or ground was needed by american army)... yes, of course we know all that fairy-tales about democracy and "human rights". And yknow, how great situation with that two things in Lybia and Iraq? And before american invasion (and before american support of the lybian rebels) live in Lybia was not bad and even good. So can be said about Syria. If US just leave middle east alone, you will see, that Syria eventualy will leave peacefully and IGIL will be destroyed.
USSR on their hand just don't waste time and mone on PR.

the Coup in Afghanistan was pro-soviet in 1979 or so.

yep, and when Vietnam was united they pumped in as much support to the country to solidify its infrastructure,
America didn't do that with Afghanistan after the Soviets left.

I´m a Finn so I may not be a big fan of USSR but no country is flawless :nope: and USA interfering with this war didn´t help at all.

I never heard of this war before. We didn't cover it in school.
I like all your art on Hetalia history. They are well-drawn, and you brought out the mood. You showed well that history and real life are cruel and unfair, and that war is not the answer. Furthermore, you also showed that you can't use a person to portray a country.

Ha! Even Russia coulden't even win against the Afghanies! Those mountains are such blessed great barriers these days!
And when will Mega Corp. U.S.A ever learn, you can't defeat them there either! Especially when even the bloody evil USSR didn't even win!
👍: 0 ⏩: 4
The USSR didn't win cause the Afghans were funded by the US. Literally, the sort of geography and culture in Afghanistan was also in Tadjikistan and the Soviets annexed that shit early on in 1922 and put down the islamist holdout there then.

Well, soviet solduers destroy 140 000 terrorists. In ten years. And one historian argues that in fact the Soviet soldiers destroyed more than 400,000 Mujahideen. Only the intervention of the United Nation did not give the Soviet army to destroy the Mujahideen. And also the fact that Gorbachev came to power (bald bastard), which NATO ass licking. The soldiers who fought in Afghanistan, said: "You know, if now thrown on the Union cry: "Volunteers! Back to war "- I would have gone ... How to live and see all this shit, these snickering faces armchair rats this human malice and hatred for all things wild, these oak, useless slogans, the better there! It's all easier."

USSR do not was bloody evil. USA helped Afghanies.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
So you say the USSR was not evil in the least? Do you have any legitimate counter claim to back that up? I hope I have misread your post because I highly doubt that!
I'm sure the Polish didn't find it kind or ethical in the slightest that the USSR under Stalin's direct order, ordered the Russian KGB or A.K.A. NKVD to arrest and massacre and murder most of its citizens whether they came from the military,its intelligencia, and shoot plain civilians in the forests of Smolensk, A.K.A. the Katyn Massacre!
And then Laughably blame the whole crime on the Germans who had nothing to do with it!
Or to invade and slowly but brutally annex dozens of countries/nations with little provocation from the countries it invaded and most under typical Communist propped up Bull crap!
Ya, I guess that pretty much sums up the definition of what a corrupt and evil empire can do with no restraints are present or imposed on them!
But alas, like the U.S. is any better either in its meddling in foreign politics of its neighbors to the south or north or elsewhere!
Yeah it is really funny how the Taliban is actually a U.S. invention and not the other way as they hype about it in their capitalistic propaganda! Because it wouldn't help their weapons manufacturers if all the proxy wars ended! Profiting on the sidelines of war and on the death's of human beings! Sick isn't it!
But remember, the way I see the whole rigged circus show of politics of the world, is always a case of choosing lesser evils in this world!
Powerful nations usually aren't angels most of the time and at some point in time they become very corrupt, unfortunately..... (Human nature isn't very kind here!)
And I think that should be painfully obvious to anyone who is sane!
P.S: And could you please proof read your post before you send it to me! It doesn't help that I have to decipher your message, especially if its a debate/rebuttal.
Is English your first or second language?
Like wise, the same thing I believe applies to me as well!

The communist Afghan government was massively popular, and the Soviets didn't 'invade' Afghanistan. local communists took over the government and requested aid from the Soviet Union

It is a lot of sentences you wrote.
English not my native language. And YES USSR did not was ideal country. In fact I don`t like revolution(1917) It was very bad when destroy Russian Empire. In that time's a lot of Slavic people are died in civil war. After that Bolsheviks repressed another part of Slavic people. It was very sad times. But not Bolsheviks made great USSR. After WW2 it is did simple people (engineers, scientists, builders, farmers and other). So USSR was good country from 1953 till 1985. Ecomony of USSR don`t wory what heppence in another parts of world.
But after 1992 when USSR was destroyed. Our countries to degrade. WE don`t have any manufacture. For example, now Russia is only sales resources to Europe, US, China.
I think that better don`t continue our dispute. It will take a lot of time.

Afghanistan is the only country in the world that has never been fully taken over (from an elder source, I'm uncertain if it's true ^^).
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, it depends how you define the country. As a region, it's been conquered many times such as by the Achaemenids, the Mauryans, Sassanids, and Sythians. It would then be conquered by the Arabs who installed Islam into the region, after which the Mongols, Tirumids, Mughals and so much more had conquered it for their empires.
If instead you mean the modern nation known as Afghanistan, well if you think about it, neither has the United Kingdom, Russian Federation, United States, Canada, etc.

VDV - Airborne troops (Воздушно-десантные войска) The elite of the Soviet and modern Russian army. A lot of fighting in Afghanistan, Airborne forces destroyed most of the Mujahideen. Vest and blue berets - a distinctive feature of VDV

I have to rescherach this for class, Soviet war in Afghanistan. Is it alright if I use this picture for my slideshow?

Russia looks so... indifferent in this pic. Like he doesn't care that he's gonna blow that man's brains out. Very him, I guess. But still... it just makes it all the mroe scary

technically, originally the invading troops were central asian...but they didn't do too good given the nature of the war resulted in bad things, so more slavic troops were used later on.

Very nice! Reminds me of a book I read, "The Kite Runner", which was based some during that time in Afghanistan. Is that supposed to be Russia(the one shooting)? If so, his hair seems to be a little darker than normal
Very nice otherwise! *faves* 8D

USA learned nothing, unfortunately.
“Every year must be war” - is the motto of modern America.
Also they raised Islamite terrorists for the war with the Soviet Union, and these ‘good students” of USA made 11 September.
Mind you don't fall into your own trap.

Surely you're not insinuating that it was OK for the Soviets to attack Afghanistan for rebelling against a communist regime they hated?
Then again, Taliban rule wasn't better at all.
Yeah, the U.S.screwed up, but don't blame me for that.
And not every American believes "every year must be war." ...Just the neo-conservatives. But Al-Queda hit us first in 2001 in case you haven't noticed.

I know this post i 5 years old buuuut...
The "unpopular" communist government in Afghanistan requested Soviet help, and there were pro-government Afghan units fighting against the wahhabists. So It's not 'attacking Afghanistan' but 'helping a friendly government put down the sorts of reactionaries the Soviets themselves had to deal with 50-60 years before then.

That doesn't justify this shit at all. You're basically supporting authoritarian barbarity. Stop being a shill.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm pretty sure it does justify authoritarian barbarity. As would the people in those Central Asian countries who VOTED to stay a part of the Soviet Union in the referendum Gorbachev held. If the majority of the population preferred it, then it's their right to keep it.
Would you say then that the U.S. had no right to intervene in Kuwait and Iraq's problems then?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You're one of those people Stalin would've called a "useful idiot".
Since when did I claim to support the 1990s Gulf War or the Iraq War? Oh, right, I fucking didn't.
I love how you have that attitude where if someone criticizes the historical USSR or modern Russia for waging war against other countries, you go: "OMG what about all the shit the USA did/is doing???!!!"
You're playing a zero-sum-game, and you're being intellectually and morally dishonest in the process.
