This should have allowed access to dox that would have given a clearer picture of soviet military theory & intentions. So, it seems to me that there should now be a much clearer view of how the soviets really intended to prosecute such a conflict, as well as how they actually trained for it. There should also have been official  accts & analysis of the performance of their armed forces in the Afghan conflict. (as an aside, the stuff I've read has been all over the place in regard to this)

Hmmmm.

Anyone have any figures on how many (if any) Soviet commanders were courtmartialed and imprisoned/executed for the Soviet fiasco in Afghanistan?

Because it strike me that if it was known or even just suspected that this sort of outcome was possible, the percentage of Cover Your A** in such "accts & analysis" would likely be extraordinarily high.
