This appellation came from the fact that the Soviet-Afghanistan War of 1979-1989 was a war in which many Soviet troops, trying to prop up a pro-Soviet government, died in a foreign land (Afghanistan) opposed by rebel insurgents (Mujahedin). This was very similar to the US experience in the Second Indochinese War (called the Vietnam War in the USA), where many US troops, trying to prop up a pro-US government, died in a foreign land (Vietnam) opposed by rebel insurgents (VietCong).
