Remembering the Soviet 'Vietnam' http://english.aljazeera.net/NR/exeres/D00E572F-3765-41F8-B3E8-60D9E7F67531.htm?FRAMELESS=true&NRNODEGUID=%7bD00E572F-3765-41F8-B3E8-60D9E7F67531%7d
The Black Tulip memorial in Yekaterinburg is one of few tributes to victims of the war
The Soviet Union's decade-long war in Afghanistan in the 1980s is a conflict many in the former countries of the USSR would rather forget. As part of the special Veterans series, Al Jazeera visited the Russian cities of Moscow and Yekaterinburg and found survivors of the war who simply cannot leave the past behind. http://english.aljazeera.net/NR/exeres/D00E572F-3765-41F8-B3E8-60D9E7F67531.htm?FRAMELESS=true&NRNODEGUID=%7bD00E572F-3765-41F8-B3E8-60D9E7F67531%7d
