The USSR spent less time (wall clock) in Afghanistan than the USA and left Afghanistan on way, way better terms.
It managed to build a secular Afghanistan state which was able to survive past the fall of USSR and will only collapse around 1993. The USA has left with people falling off its airplanes and the state has collapsed in two weeks I believe.
