There has never been any official acknowledgment that Soviet soldiers served in Vietnam on the side of the communist North Vietnamese in the 1960s and 1970s. However, Trushyekin, currently in a hospital in Russia's second city of St. Petersburg, had no qualms about speaking about his time in the jungles of Southeast Asia.

"I got to Vietnam at the time when there were mixed units with Vietnamese," he said, adding that he had served as an officer in a missile unit.

My father said that we regularly overheard Russian technicians in Vietnam manning their missile sites.

Lying Commies.

I met a guy in Kazakhstan who bragged about being in Vietnam. It was at a birthday party, and he was pretty drunk. When his wife heard what he was saying, she ran up and dragged him away...
