Descrição: Late in December 1979, the Soviet Union moved troops into Afghanistan. The nearly decade-long presence of Soviet armed forces in Afghanistan in a bid to help the People's Democratic Party (PDPA) put its Utopian dream of building Soviet-modeled socialism into reality was a complicated and controversial period not only in Afghan but also in our own history, and it still receives mixed assessments. Not long before Soviet tanks crossed the Amu Darya river into Afghanistan to get enmeshed in an escalating bloody confiict in that country, Soviet archaeologists made what has come to be considered one of the world's most sensational discoveries - at Tillya Tepe in Jowzjan province in northern Afghanistan, they found the largest treasure trove in the world history of archaeology, a unique assemblage of 20,585 golden objects, many of them adornments that had belonged to rulers whose names and lives remain unknown.
