Okay, so that's more or less the same thing that happened to the American contingent, that ended up with massive insubordination and mutiny issues as well in Arkhangelsk.
And yes, it's easy to understand why people who just went through the most destructive war the world ever witnessed wouldn't really want to go fight in a remote place against an enemy that doesn't threaten their country... |

| A spy movie about Israel, a modern western that doesn't try to mess with the genre too much and a Vietnam War movie? Now that's something great, I was quite tired of "sand war against Muslim terrorists" themed movies... I'll have to slog through simulated cost estimations for MANY of these French Riviera houses at work over the course of autumn, but I'll have cool stuff to wait for when it'll be over! |

| Neither did I, thought only the Brits and Americans did (in terms of Anglo-Saxon nations, that is). Everyone seemed to pile on the Bolsheviks in 1918-1920! By the way, did the Australians and other Commonwealth contingents have a specific reason to leave the Russian theatre, apart from "it's useless to continue and the war's supposed to be over"? Because I know the French removed their troops from Russia because more and more of their soldiers were starting to share the Reds' ideas and it was threatening both the contingent and, in the long run, French political stability. Meanwhile, the Japanese only left the Russian Far East when military kicked out of it... |

Oh, thanks, that's awesome, sources on this topic are murky at best, even in Russian. But well, much of it must still be under the seal of secrecy, so we mere mortals won't know before a couple decades, if that is ever declassified some day!
But yeah, after some extra research, the BMD/ASU-ùounted air assault unit was Cuban, and only used Soviet kit. |

| Didn't the GRU also do some "fun stuff" in Africa before? In Angola, Mozambique, Ethiopia? And I'm fairly sure the Soviet VDV were involved in Ethiopia in the 70s as well. |
