Citation Information. Soldiers and the Soviet State. Civil-Military Relations from Brezhnev to Gorbachev. Edited by Colton, Timothy J. / Gustafson, Thane.

Adding their perspective would surely have been illuminating. The book principally focuses on recording testimonies and experiences from all facets of the Afghan war, as the Russians experienced it/5(87).
