Enlisted Soldiers and Officers of the Soviet Red Army - Afghanistan (1979-1989)

Email: Can Iran Win the War with the US & Israel? (26.3.2026)

The former Red Army was under-funded and banned from teaching Marxist-Leninist lessons to its soldiers (this still went on behind the scenes). Furthermore, the Red Army Grave Detachment was abolished in the new capitalist Russia so that the bodies of dead Russian soldiers killed-murdered in Chechnya (many beheaded as POWs) were left neatly lined-up along the main road (in and out of Chechnya) so that their families could drive their vehicles up and down the road looking for their relatives – many of which lacked heads and limbs. Those bodies left too long were eaten by dogs. I know this because I knew men who had served in the Red Army and lived through the transition from Socialism to capitalism – and it was a terrible time for Russians and former Soviet citizens. Around 10 million people – between 1991-2000 and the dismantling of the Socialist infrastructure – died of starvation whilst the US pumped fascism and Christian missionaries into the post-Soviet space.
