    Песня группы "Ребята с нашего двора"
    'Don't tell mom I'm in afghan' refers to the common practice that soldiers sent to Afghanistan would tell their mothers they were being stationed somewhere else so that they would not worry. In this song, a soldier writes a letter to her little sister saying he is in Afghanistan and to not tell their mother.

    Privet sestronka, moya radnaya, nu kak dela
    Zima dorogi domoy naverno uj zamela?
    A zvezdy padayut nad Kandagarom v luchakh zari,
    Ty tol'ka mame, shto ya v Afgane nye gavari.
    Seychas subbota, i ,bel'ye pochishche i chert s voynoy
    Zdyes' pakhnet potom, zdyes' spyat parnishki, bil trudni boy
    S druzhkom Olegom, shto on vernetsya derzhu pari,
    Ty tol'ka mame, chto ya v Afgane nye gavari.
    Svoyey sestryonke, ya shlyu goryachiy bol'shoy privet
    Skazhi pust' pishut davno iz doma uzh pisem net.
    A yesli sprosyat o chem pishu nu chto zh sovri,
    Ty tol'ko mame, shto ya v Afgane nye gavari.
    Privet sestronka, moya radnaya, nu kak dela
    Zima dorogi domoy naverno uj zamela?
    A zvezdy padayut nad Kandagarom v luchakh zari,
    Ty tol'ka mame, shto ya v Afgane nye gavari.
    Ty tol'ka mame, shto ya v Afgane nye gavari.
    Ty tol'ka mame, shto ya v Afgane nye gavari.

    Alright, can't help but commenting on the translation:
    1. the stars falling in the dawn at Kandahar is a metaphor for artillery/air to surface rockets/projectiles, which I find is a pretty powerful lyrics, it sounds so beautiful (and maybe even looks so), but you actually know that what is behind it is death and destruction.
    2. the line about pouring rain is completely wrong even in the Russian subtitles, correct is: "Сейчас суббота, белье почищу и черт с войной", which means: "It's saturday, I'm gonna clean the laundry and then to hell with war"
    3. "I'm with my friend Oleg, I bet he will come back" is a very poor translation and doesn't really make sense. In Russian it is: "I'm betting against my buddy Oleg that he (Oleg) will come back", which implies that Oleg has gone on a dangerous task and the two buddies tried to take it with humour by making a bet in advance: the singer betted that Oleg will come back while Oleg himself betted that he won't. I personally find this line particularly touching so it's a pity that the translation is bad...

I think ive seen another song on youtube that sounded just like this one but with chechnya instead of afghan. Do you know any history about the relation to the two songs? Im an afghan vet so I personally like this one better, I was just curious about them, thats all.

For you it was beslan, for us it was the fort hood shooting, for you it was operation magistral, for us americans it was korengal, for you it was Grozny and for Americans Baghdad, for you it was Stalingrad and for us it was Petersburg. May we pray to god that we never have to meet as foes, we are too damn similar to be killing one another.

      This is such a retarded misconception. We supported the *Mujahideen*. Specifically Jamiat and Hezb-e-Islami. The Taliban (literally translated as “the Students”) Weren’t even founded yet. They began in retaliation to the Mujahideen groups that we sponsored, because Jamiat is a secular, moderate right-wing party, and they did not want to institute Sharia law. Hezb-e-Islami did ally with them however. And the Taliban grew to be in control of Afghanistan by fighting a brutal civil war, which we then intervened in.
      In short - no, the Taliban fought *our guys*. And most of them now aren’t even Afghan. They’re basically, a mercenary group of various competing countries.

There was this Russian soldier who would often buy from my grandfather and he would also make toys for my father whilst also teaching him a bit of Russian over a few years.

      There was no "Russian invasion", the Red Army intervened at the help of the official government who was held hostage by a coup, after successfully securing the capital's government a anti terrorist operation began on the interior of the country where no major breakthrough was made but neither any major defeat until political crisis called a end to the intervention.
      The afghan state alligned to the soviets would last 3 years more than their allies until terrorists financed by the west would finally get the upper hand and take control over urban areas of the country.

Not because american "support" to the Mujahideen but soviet lack of skill to fight in this environment. спецназ were the only force that meant a thing on the soviet side, and they simply were not enough. In my opinion this war was kind of pointless in the end. As well as Vietnam war. USSR did never have much chances in this war. Afghanistan is not called the "graveyard of empires" for nothing, sadly.

      @Almir Are you familiar to the fact that Soviets were there becouse Afghan invited them to help them and if USA didnt help islamist then Afghan would be a different country. Look at Chechnya ... Russia did beat them to the ground with one hand and after the war helped them rebuild from the dust. I do not see CCCP as a holy country but atleast they had the balls to do the right thing afer they won.

    My grandfathers brother participated in Warsaw Pact excersizes in Bulgaria and East Germany, and served on the DDR/BRD borderlands. Then came his time in Afghanistan. He was in many hardships, he lost all his teeth to a poisoned well, he saw comrades die. Time passed and he rose to the rank of Mayor. At all times his highest priority was always to send the men back to their families unscathed - he mostly succeeded. When he himself returned in 89, the country he called his own was in shambles, her politicians plotting about the future and setting the stage for them to become the oligarchs of the new countries that they carved for themselves. In the name of "Perestroika" (Перестройка) the state no longer had resources to help wounded veterans, and in the name of capitalism veterans would not be compensated for not being able to work during Afghan years, because society needed people at the bottom for the relative value of capitalist money.

Out of 100~ drafted lithuanians, ~78 made it back. Some were maimed for life and some died just like the cousin.
    No one wanted to be in that war, socialist government of afghan begged Brezhnev to send troops to protect it from the usa sponsored mujahideen terrorists, which he kept refusing until Taraki was assassinated. After Afghan won, the Pakistan-Afghanistan borderland became the biggest producer of heroin in the world. I hope the people responsible for it will burn in hell for the crimes against humanity they committed.

    Turkish guy here. I put this song in a loop and keep listening to it for a long time now. The lyrics the rhythm and melody they all hit differently especially nowadays when our esteemed maritime neighbour is bogged down in a senseless war in Ukraine. We as Turkish always had this rivalry with Russians and still have this love and hate relationship wtih them. Also there are big parallel similarities for Turks and Russians when it comes to relationships with the West and Europe in particular. Also as both being heirs of mighty empires and still having longing for them it reflects their dealings with their surrounding countries. That’s why being aware of these and listening to this masterpiece as a Turk hits differently.
