Soviet withdrawal from Afghanistan

Soviet troops began their withdrawal from Afghanistan in 1988

It's nearly 20 years since the former Soviet Union began to withdraw its troops from Afghanistan.

Are you from the former Soviet Union or from Afghanistan? What are you memories of this period?

The BBC is looking for people in Afghanistan and the former Soviet Union who were affected by the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and the subsequent withdrawal.

Were you or your family in Afghanistan at the time of the invasion? What do your remember? Were you or a member of your family part of the Soviet military in Afghanistan? What are your experiences?
