This Flash file uses Soviet Union propaganda footage. It is about the Red Army's invasion of Afghanistan and their attempts to fight insurgents and win The Cold War. Although the film exists solely to communicate a message and is very much of its time, it still has a curiosity value. It is also a reminder of Afghanistan's bloody modern history. This is now back in vogue, thanks to Mike Nichol's new film, Charlie Wilson's War. The movie is based on the true story of US Congressman Charlie Wilson, who ensured the Mujahideen had lots of money and guns.
