Agreed. I'm pretty shocked at how little people here in the USA know the Soviet war in Afghanistan even happened. With the amount of people it affected, and the amount of lives pointlessly lost during it, it should be in every Cold War history lesson, especially considering it's involvement with the downfall of the Soviet Union.
Hey Vladimir, do you have any other stories from Ossetia? It is very interesting to hear from a Russian perspective, since we obviously don't get to hear your guys' side very much here.
