Description

This landmark study examines how the Soviet Union's war in Afghanistan shaped Russian politics and society during a period of profound transformation within the USSR. Drawing on extensive Soviet official and unofficial sources alongside interviews with Afghan veterans, the book traces the conflict's far-reaching effects across multiple dimensions of Soviet life. From the emergence of grassroots political activism to shifts in foreign policy away from globalism, the author demonstrates how this military campaign became intertwined with broader processes of change. Essential reading for anyone seeking to understand Cold War history, Soviet politics, or the geopolitical consequences of the Afghan conflict and its lasting impact on Russia's trajectory.

Key Features

The book uses Soviet official and unofficial sources to provide an authoritative account of the Afghanistan conflict from the Soviet perspective.

Afghan veterans' testimonies are integrated throughout to offer first-hand insights into the war's human and military dimensions.

The study connects the conflict to grassroots political activism, demonstrating how the war influenced Soviet civil society and public discourse.

The author examines how the Afghanistan war contributed to the Soviet Union's retreat from global engagement in foreign policy.

Published by Routledge, this work represents a comprehensive analysis of how military conflict reshaped Russian politics during the USSR's final decades.
