When I visited Moscow in 1991 (literally 3 weeks before the coup), they had an exhibit about the Afghan War. It was mostly focused on the struggles of their veterans. I remember the tour guide telling our group of American students that the exhibit wouldn't have been possible only a few years earlier. We had a long discussion about the comparison to our Vietnam War since the Russian people were similarly thrown into their conflict, and there was similar bitterness. We all walked out thinking "wow - they are having conversations that Americans weren't quite ready for."Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03321684477387809263noreply@blogger.com
