1254a/ Afghan nation builds a new life... Writing in the white area:The Soviet Union was always giving [us,] Afghanistan help in the moments that were the most important for our nation - in the times where our national independence and sovereignity strenghtened. Babrak Karmal. Babrak Karmal was an Afghan puppet of Moscow. Soviet Union used well practised trick - found somebody in the target country who did not mind to betray his nation in the exchange of Soviet
protection. Such a person "called the Soviets to help his country", Russians then came and helped this puppet to become the prime minister, president or something similar. The new "government" was fully subordinated to the Soviet Union. This trick has two big benefits: officially, the invasion can be called "brotherly help", and further coercion is mediated thru happy, satisfied puppets. Soviet Union used this method more than once, another good example
is the invasion to Czechoslovakia in 1968. I am sure most other big powers are familiar with this trick as well, although Russian KGB has mastered it to perfection.

normal life.
