To start and get some basic info:
Viktor ******skiy, Viktor Miliachenko Afganistan. Voyna Rozviedchikov, published in 2001. I dn't know the original publisher, since I have only polish version. Also take a look here: Welcome to the Sword of the Motherland Foundation Website and check Ospreys: Inside the Soviet Army Today and Afghan War All this should be quite easy to get. |

OK that's a start, thank you! I guess that Afghan war is still a touchy topic in Russia, like Vietnam was (still is) in the USA? A very interesting conflict, but so few books in English.

Afghanistan: Soviet Vietnam by Vladislav Tamarov
Russian-Soviet Unconventional Wars in the Caucasus, Central Asia, and Afghanistan Leavenworth Papers #20 by Dr. Robert Baumann Baumann also wrote something like The Bear Went over the Mountain and I'm sure a google search would produce results. |
