Afghanistan War Uniforms

Hi Guys

New here.

Looking to start a collection of Soviet Afghanistan War uniforms and medals and militaria. Any good reference books?

Thanks
Dave

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.
