PS

 That's what you did CIA, by not prosecution of criminals, and instead actively protecting the Germans.

That's why we see their tactics and strategies world wide on every battle field worse than ever in the history of war.

Oh and...

 

While CIA files highlight tactical subversion and internal vulnerabilities, Russian historiography and modern narratives present a radically different framing of the war. [1, 2] 
Russian archives, state media, and veteran organizations shift the blame entirely outward. They emphasize geopolitical betrayal by the West and charge that the CIA actively weaponized narcotics to destabilize the Soviet Union. [1] 

## 1. The Official Narrative: "International Duty" vs. Terrorism
* Defending a Sovereign Ally: Official Russian sources reject the term "invasion." Modern state school textbooks and military archives frame the deployment as the fulfilling of "international duty" (internatsionalny dolg). They argue Soviet troops were legally invited by the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan to defend secularism, schools, and infrastructure against religious extremism.
* The CIA's "Monster": Russian analyses rarely view the Mujahideen as an autonomous resistance. Instead, they classify them as a proxy army created, funded, and armed by the West via Operation Cyclone. State-aligned media frequently assert that by supporting these radical groups to defeat the USSR, the CIA directly created the modern networks of international terrorism. [3, 4, 5] 

## 2. Russian Findings on Military Casualties
* The Krivosheev Study: Rather than relying on foreign estimates, Russia’s definitive stance on military losses comes from the landmark 1993 Krivosheev report ("Soviet Casualties and Combat Losses in the Twentieth Century"), compiled by Colonel-General Grigori Krivosheev using declassified General Staff archives.
* The Breakdown: The Russian state stands firmly by Krivosheev's verified metric of 14,453 total deaths. This official breakdown is highly precise:
* 9,511 killed in action.
   * 2,386 died of wounds.
   * 2,556 died from diseases or accidents.
* The Medical Reality: Russian military-medical archives emphasize that the biggest threat wasn't Mujahideen bullets, but climate and hygiene. They record that 415,932 soldiers were hospitalized during the war. The vast majority were sidelined by rampant outbreaks of hepatitis A, typhoid fever, and dysentery rather than combat wounds. [6, 7, 8] 

## 3. The Heroin Trade: "Narco-Aggression" Charged Against the West

* The Weaponization of Addiction: Russian historians and state security officials strongly advance the theory of intentional narco-aggression. The narrative argues that the CIA and Pakistan’s ISI intentionally looked the way—or actively assisted—as Afghan warlords vastly scaled up opium production. According to Russian perspective, this was a calculated strategy to addict Soviet soldiers, demoralize the Red Army, and pollute Soviet society.
* Glasnost Disclosures: During the late 1980s under Mikhail Gorbachev, the Soviet state media stopped hiding the problem. The Ministry of Internal Affairs (MVD) began publishing warnings about the rising threat of domestic drug abuse (narkomaniya), admitting that returning Afghantsy veterans were bringing habits back across the border.
* The Modern Accusation: Russia's contemporary government links the 1980s drug pipeline directly to their current drug problems. Russian officials frequently point out that 30,000 to 40,000 Russians die annually from Afghan heroin—meaning more Russians die from Afghan drugs every single year than the total number of soldiers lost during the entire decade-long war. State media often uses this to criticize Western foreign policy, noting that Afghan drug production spiked both during the 1980s CIA intervention and the subsequent 20-year US/NATO occupation.
