The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, reshaped the world far beyond the day itself. The ensuing “War on Terror” transformed warfare and intelligence operations, expanded surveillance and the use of drones, and raised fundamental questions about torture, human rights and the rule of law. At the same time, 9/11 fuelled racism, radicalisation and conspiracy theories, while contributing to growing distrust in political institutions and the media. From the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and Guantánamo to the rise of right-wing populism and increasing political and social division, the long-term consequences of 9/11 continue to shape global politics and society today.

The project attempts to understand the causes of the Afghan War (1979-1989) and to provide the most truthful coverage of all its stages. On a cold day on December 12, 1979, a small circle of members of the Politburo of the CPSU Central Committee discussed the situation in Afghanistan. After much hesitation, four people (Leonid Brezhnev, Yuri Andropov, Andrei Gromyko, Dmitry Ustinov) made the fateful decision to send troops into Afghanistan. Thus began the Afghan campaign – the first and only military operation waged by the Soviet Union outside the Warsaw Pact countries, which became the longest and most “forgotten” war in Soviet history.
