  Soviet war in Afghanistan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Soviet war in Afghanistan was a 9-year conflict fought between the Soviet Army and rebels in Afghanistan.
Soviet troops ultimately withdrew from the area between May 15, 1988 and February 2, 1989.
The image of the Soviet Army fighting against Islam in Afghanistan also contributed to a rapid rise of Islamic fundamentalism in the Central Asian republics and possibly to the strengthening of the independence movement in Chechnya.

To avoid overestimating the power of the Soviet army it should be noted, however, that while before 1941 Soviet formations of a given level were at least equal to and often stronger than equivalent formations of other armies, huge wartime losses and reorganisation based on war experience reversed the trend during the later war years.
Soviet participation in the Spanish Civil War was greatly influenced by the growing tension between Stalin and Adolf Hitler, the leader of Nazi Germany and an avid supporter of the fascist forces of Francisco Franco.
The Soviets had ensured the loyalty of Vietnam and Laos through an aggressive campaign of political, economic and military aid – the same tactic which allowed the USSR to compete with America in a race to establish themselves as neocolonial rulers of newly independent states in Africa and the Middle East.

Most of the T-35 tanks still operational at the time of Operation Barbarossa/ were lost due to mechanical failure rather than enemy action.
The T-35 was developed from a 1930 concept for a multi-turreted, heavy breakthrough tank of 50 tons, armed with a 76 mm gun and five machine guns.
During Operation Barbarossa, most of the T-35s lost by the 67th and 68th tank regiments were lost not to enemy action but through either mechanical failure or because they were abandonded and destroyed by their crews.

 T-34 - Art History Online Reference and Guide
It was the mainstay of Soviet armored forces throughout WWII, and widely exported afterwards.
It was faster, had better armament (50 mm was the predominant calibre of German tanks guns) and better armour protection, due to the technical innovation of sloped armour.
The other key factor diminishing the initial impact of T-34s on the battlefield was the poor state of tank tactics and crew training, a hangover from Stalin's purges of the Soviet officer corps in the late 1930s.

 ipedia.com: T-34 tank Article   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
The ancestry of the T-34 derives from prototype fast tanks built by American tank designer J. Walter Christie, which were sold to the Soviet Union after the American military declined to buy them.
It was faster, had better armament (50mm was the predominant calibre of German tanks guns) and better armour protection, due to the technical innovation of sloped armour.
However, direct tank to tank combat was a relatively rare occurrence; the vast majority of losses suffered were from logistical and mechanical troubles (50% of Soviet tanks at the start of the German invasion), artillery and air strikes, anti-tank guns and later in the war self-propelled guns and tank destroyers.

 Reconstructive Critics: Think Tanks in Post-Soviet Bloc Democracies--Chapter 1
The context for decisionmaking was substantially uniform throughout the Soviet Union and its satellites and a grasp of it is important for understanding the evolution of policymaking to 1997.
The rejection of the Soviet economic and political system by the countries of Eastern Europe and the constituent non-Russian republics of the USSR was driven, at least in part, by the desire of these peoples to participate in civil society.
These were open-ended discussions about their impressions of think tanks, including how these institutes allocate their resources among research, advocacy, and public education; think tanks' effectiveness in the policy process; and on the sources of support for think tanks in the past and the future.

 T-80   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
However a quick overview of Soviet tanks and their histories provides clarity: the T-80 and T-72 are mechanically very different.
The T-72 was intended to be a tank mass-produced to equip the bulk of Soviet mechanized units, and for sale to export partners and east-bloc satellite states.
While there are other tanks which boast similar power (the Abrams M1 series has a 1,500 hp (1,120 kW) gas turbine as well, but weighs 70 tons), the T-80 is almost half the size and weight; its consequent maneuverability sees it referred to as the "flying tank".

Most of the Soviet pilots sent to Korea were veterans and aces, including Ivan Kozhedub, 3-time Hero of the Soviet Union with 62 German kills to his credit.
In addition to their good scores against enemy fighters, the Soviet pilots were the primary reason the US stopped using B-29 bombers (US first switched from day to night bombing and, after 1951, hardly used them at all).
Ivan Kozedub, the great Soviet ace of the Second World War (62 victories) and "Hero of the Soviet Union" with three "Gold Stars", was the commander of all the Soviet fighter regiments in Korea.

A decade after the collapse of communism, the Russians are yearning nostalgically for the foibles and frustration, the slogans and stupidities of a system that was built on fear, ran on hypocrisy and fell apart amid cynicism and ridicule.
But with the chaos surrounding the collapse of the Soviet Union, organised crime flourished with the weak state powerless to resist, seizing control of the fragile banking sector and collaborating with the Soviet nomenklatura (bureaucrats) to pillage state assets.
