Война в Афганистане. Журналист Михаил Кожухов

Was the Afghan War a lesson for us? How did soldiers and officers cope with the senselessness of their service? Why, despite thousands of zinc coffins, did Soviet citizens remain silent? And how did it happen that Chechnya began almost immediately after Afghanistan? Journalist Mikhail Kozhukhov, a TV presenter and journalist who worked in Afghanistan from 1985 to 1989, answers Evgenia Zobnina's questions. 00:00 Experience of the Afghan War 01:08 Is it true that the war in Afghanistan wasn't called a war? 02:12 "We barely made it in time because the Americans wanted to deploy nuclear weapons there" 03:53 Who made the decision to send troops? 06:26 "The very beginning is very reminiscent of the events in Ukraine in 2014" 09:09 Upon arrival in Afghanistan, the soldiers were disillusioned. Why? 13:21 How Soviet society viewed this war 15:06 Why only Sakharov spoke out against Afghanistan 18:46 What censorship prohibited from talking about 24:17 Propaganda was not interested in the war 26:27 Should we believe the official casualty figures? 29:17 How were the bodies of the dead treated? 31:53 Afghan syndrome 34:15 "There was an expectation that the Afghans would become the driving force of Perestroika" 36:04 Was there room for heroic deeds? 38:06 Why Chechnya happened 5 years after Afghanistan 40:26 Why aren't we as proud of Afghanistan as we are of the Great Patriotic War? 41:38 "It's much easier to start a war than to end it" 44:09 Why people who were in the war are silent about it 46:50 Why Mikhail Kozhukhov is ashamed 48:22 "In society" "Mechanisms haven't been created to prevent the new Politburo from sending thousands of people to slaughter."
