Ten years of Soviet involvement in Afghanistan brought back home 15 thousan coffins of those killed in action. This national tragedy that is compared with the American one in Vietnam is something that should never come back but be kept in the memory of the people. The Russian text states, "sdelano v Afganistane" translated: "made in Afghanistan."
