This is likely referring to AFGHANISTAN, where Soviet soldiers and Afghan Mujahedin fought from 1979 until 1989.
The United States supported and trained the mujahadeen to fight against the Russians. After the Russians left in 1989 the mujahadeen turned against the United States and the ultimate result was 9-11.
The Mujahadeen were pretty much anyone in Afghanistan who fought against the Soviet occupation. Many people assume they are the same as the Taliban - this is not true. The Taliban were formed after the Soviet withdrawal from Afghanistan, with the intent of overthrowing the mujahadeen warlords who had come into power after the Soviets left.
The soviet union survived the invasion because they had enough people and resources to continue to fight. The leaders had no care for the people they were loosing in the war, and they were able to keep their industrial force by disassembling factories and moving them farther into the soviet union.
Soviet invasion of Manchuria happened in 1945.
Soviet invasion of Xinjiang happened in 1934.
If anyone liked the Taliban, it was probably because they stood with the Mujahadeen in opposition to the Soviet invasion. The Taliban was supplied with weapons by the US and took over Afghanistan by force of these arms as soon as the Soviets withdrew. They did not ask anyone if they were wanted, and they made no attempt to be liked.
