Somebody interviews the Russians who fought in Afghanistan

This is a surprise - a journalist doing journalism! Matthew Fisher interviews former Soviet Army soldiers about their experience in Afghanistan.

Given the Red Army's agonies in Afghanistan, Kirjushin, the airborne sergeant who spent most of his time there on the front lines, was perplexed about what Canada hoped to achieve in that faraway place.

"Why are you doing that?" Kirjushin asked. "Is there not another way you can help without putting troops on the front lines?"
