He's talking about WWII, probably the single biggest even to shape Soviet/Russian worldview.
- thriftwy 9y ago"yet its people were immensely proud of advances in Korea/Afghanistan/Vietnam/Egypt and whatever other warzone the USSR was involved at that time" Afghanistan was in late 1970-s, I mean come on. Egypt before that but pretty far from ruins period. One can probably only claim it about Korean War.
