Only when the Afghans began moving away from communism, and the Afghan government requested the Soviets to move in and help their government regain control; this was the Soviet Afghanistan war, which the Soviets (Russians) fought for close to 10 years and lost about 10,000 men fighting it.

Today, those former Soviet veterans of that war consider themselves to be the Russian equivalent of American "Vietnam" veterans. Another words, the Soviets called Afghanistan their Vietnam. It's possibly a slightly comparable resemblance; but the Soviets (Russians) weren't fighting against the armed forces of Afghanistan, they didn't have to fight Afghan tanks, jets, and patrol boats nor a standing Afghanistan army. The US did in Vietnam; but other than that, both the USSR & US experience involved fighting many years in a small Asian country with thousands of fatalities.
