The assault was pretty bad as well. Only just started watching, but some of them were using tourist maps during the assault. Pretty hilarious the Russians would create and stockpile highly accurate maps of large parts of the world, but when they actually need something for an operation then they get a tourist map.

The funniest thing is, when the Tujbeg Palace was being assaulted by Soviet Special Forces before the invasion... Amin is said to have screamed "inform the Russians" to which his personal bodyguard had replied "who do you think's here ?!"

At the beginning of the war, the USSR used manly Central Asian soldiers, under the belief that they were less likely to be received as invaders by the local population. In this case, for what I know, if they were Spetsnaz under the GRU and KGB, they were most likely Atheists, even if they were from Muslim countries. I am not 100% sure about it, but even in the Brezhnev era, in which persecution against religious groups was lower than under previous leaders, most agencies that concerned Special Forces, Intelligence and National Security tried to not have any members who were oppenly religious or, at the very least, they weren't given posts of responsability. Again, my sources are KZread documentaries and that kind of videos, so I maybe am wrong.

@@comradekenobi6908 In theory, the Soviet Union was, from 1920 to 1991, an Atheist State. But, as you say, its practice changed from one leader to another. Also, not every single religious group was persecuted in the same way. For example, in the Soviet Union itself, as you say, the Orthodox church was allowed some space to breath and, sometimes, they were even "de facto" recognized (your example is maybe the most representative), but still, they had problems to exist legally: in the late 1980s, there were only 7000 active churches recognized by the State in the entire Union, almost half of them in Ukrayne; meanwhile Islam was almost all times persecuted, as Soviet officials were concerned that the religious differences in Central Asia could be the foundation for independence movements. Now, about the population, it depends on the territory. Just look at numbers of atheistic populations around the world and countries that belonged in the Soviet sphere are some of the first: the Czech Republic, Estonia and others are some of the most atheistic societies in the world. Also, just look at a religious map of Germany and you would see how in what was the Democratic Republic most of the population are also atheists to this day. Now, that being said, it is still a matter of debate to this day the sucess (or lack of) of the Atheist ideology in Soviet Russia, some claiming that the numbers were big but they diminished a lot as first Yeltsin and now Putin implemented new measures to reactivate the Orthodox church as a big part of Russian society, while some other claim that Atheism was a big failure and most people practised Orthodox beliefs in private. Again, really difficult to know, specially when the State didn't make any stadistics about it. Edit: okay, as ComradeKenobi pointed out, Russia is a Secular State. There is no "de iure" official religion and the Russian States respects other religious beliefs. What I was trying to say is that since the fall of the Soviet Union the Orthodox church has gain predominance in the Russian society, with the support of both Yeltsin and Putin goverments. There are stadistics made between 1992 and nowadays that prove this, with atheism falling in almost all areas (in official studies, there are some alternative ones that don't share this view) and Orthodoxy becoming, again, a major part of the Russian Society and having a lot of political influence, promoting traditional values and making itself a part of Russian national identity. For example: in 2009, a directive resintated the right to have religious education in school, eliminating a previous law that outlawed the practice. Also, even if the Orthodox Church continues to pay taxes (which, compared to my country, it is a lot: in mine, the Catholic Church doesn't pay anything), tax breaks have been made to ease the tax burden of the Russian Orthodox Church and, the last example, in 2010 a new law allowed the Church to claim lands that they lost after the 1917 Revolution. While my words exagerated the situation, I still believe my words contain some truth: the Russian post-revolution goverments have been increasing the power of the Orthodox Church, reinstating its place as the predominant religion in Russian society and giving them economical privilages that would be impossible in a Atheist State like the Soviet Union was. Sorry about not expressing my view correctly, again, I am half-sleep, it is 5 AM where i am from and I am dead tired. 2nd Edit: just altered some really messed up gramatical and ortographical mistakes.

@پیر الکساندر خان the problem is that pakistan considers themselves as arabs turkic people rather than considering ancestry from indo aryans who are the true ancestors of pashtuns as well and followed vedic animism. Muslims call their identity as different than of hindus which sparks wars and conflicts over each other. Yes there have been many oppressions by hindus as well but muslims just dont consider their civilization as same as hindus

@پیر الکساندر خان mughals and delhi sultanate and even muhammad bin qasim , mahmud of gazni and ghori all were from barbaric tribes such as turks,berber,mongols,etc. India has mostly experienced turkic mongol invasions thats why islamic hate is here. Even persian muslims called them barbarians.

Wow! I like the new animated table top like overview of the battlefield! I was even more impressed that the animated palace could be lifted up to show the inside combat. Lol

I was literally just researching this conflict a couple days ago and now this video pops up? *nice*

Been waiting for this👏.

Great video. I honestly think most Americans don't understand the history of Afghanistan. This video helps fill in the gaps. Thank you.

Wow, really impressive work on this video!

"Babrak Kamal promised 500 of his own guerillas but only one showed up" Well, that was probably a very awkward one man

Watching on 15th August 2021. Kabul has fallen.

Anxiously waiting for the next part of this video. 😎👍🏻

When is the next part of the documentary coming? This is top notch mate

Finally a good documentary on this very important commando operation.

Lol,the mujahideen weren't trained at the level of Soviet troops and Soviets were more organized also many of the causalties were civilian or people killed by Soviets for fun. In the end ,commie block collapsed entirely and now russia has GDP the size of texas

Taraki, who started to loose power to his opponent, was killed after an attempt to kill Amin... Kabul officers refused to follow such orders and joined Amin's side. Along with Taraki, Amin got rid of thousands of Taraki's supporters. And actually, Amin's repressions were MORE brutal than Taraki's, especially repressions against religion. So, soviets started to be afraid that Amin would destroy all the progress in secularisation and stabilization of the country, that was achieved through previous decades, and that was essential for the stability of soviet Central Asia. Although they warned even Taraki not to hurry too much. But, some say that the final point was the association of Taraki, who had personal guarantees of safety from Brezhnev, what was known to Amin. Before that, Taraki asked Brezhnev for military aid for around 18 times, and soviets refused, thinking about possibilities of getting mass resistance against the intervention. Such discussion were stenographed and later declassified in post-soviet Russia. So, they clearly understood, how it can be perceived among afgan people.. Amin, becoming the only leader, continued the requests. On the final discussion, most army generals were still against the intervention, but KGB insisted on it, saying that Amin is an american agent (he studied in USA) and would bring major threats to USSR, including positioning of american strategic missiles in Afghanistan. Some say, that it helped KGB chief Andropov to come into power after Brezhnev, some say, that he was right...

Excellent content as usual.

What an amazing video thanks a lot!

I really appreciate this effort that you’re doing, but can you do an episode about the Gulf War? Or the Iraq-Iran war? That would be an awesome thing if you did it 🙏🏻

I love how historical tactics are briefly analyzed in this series. I am also fascinated with the history of the Soviets in Afghanistan. There have been some Russian films about this, and they are great cinema.

What an animation ! 11/10 , man

Ahh, beautiful. A war that I haven’t seen much of. I look forward to the whole thing.
