The soldiers of the Soviet Army, who served in Afghanistan, did their duty honestly and nobly. The army can not be responsible for political mistakes. It is worthy of note that the production of drugs in Afghanistan was minimized during the Soviet military presence in the country. As soon as the NATO contingent was deployed there, Afghanistan turned into the world’s largest maker of heroine and opium.

The Taliban movement came into power in Afghanistan in 1996. The country became the second home for Islamists from all over the world. On the other hand, Talibs began to struggle with the drug mafia. They instituted death penalty for drug dealers.
NATO troops invaded Afghanistan in 2001, overturned the Talibs and brought their mentor, Hamid Karzai, to power. NATO’s incursion marked the end of the struggle against the drug mafia. The harvests of opium poppy increased 44 times during seven years and made up 8,200 tons of opium (1.171,5 tons of heroine), UN experts said. Afghanistan is currently the world’s largest maker of all opium drugs.
The leading countries of the world continue to play their Afghan card nowadays. War and struggle will continue to eat Afghanistan from inside for years against such a background.
