- W997628872 abstract "PETROV: 'LIMITED SOVIET MILITARY CONTINGENT' ... ON EVENTS IN AFGHANISTAN. (By A. Petrov. Pravda, Dec. 31, p. 4. Complete text:) Important events took place in the life of the Afghan people during the past few days. ... In connection with the imperialist interference in the internal affairs of democratic Afghanistan, which assumed a scale and took forms that jeopardized the republic's very existence, the Central Committee of the People's Democratic Party and the government of the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan appealed to the country's population to resolutely defend the gains of the April revolution. They are rallying all progressive national forces in the name of the consolidation of a new, free and independent Afghanistan. ... Breaking down old institutions and creating new and advanced ones is always a difficult and complicated process. It is even more difficult when interference by external reaction is added to the resistance put up to the revolution by internal reaction, by those forces that are losing their.power and privileges, when imperialism tries to take advantage of the moment to broaden its domination and to suppress and subjugate another people. This is completely, even doubly, true of Afghanistan today. ... One of the ancient countries of Central Asia, until recently it remained one of the most backward. It seemed that here life had frozen along medieval lines and that the people were doomed to drag out a miserable existence. Feudal lords controlled destinies and meted out reprisals against people; in order to perpetuate this state of affairs , they propagated obscurantism, enmeshed the masses in bondage, and suppressed all attempts to bring a spark of light into the dark of lawlessness and arbitrary rule. In April 1978 the Afghan people said to this rotten system. The working people of the country took its destiny into their own hands. ... Life demanded the most profound transformations in the cities and in the countryside, the restructuring of class and tribal relations and of the very social and economic ...

XXXI, NO. 52 ... base of Afghan society, the consolidation-not simply the formal proclamation-of the principles of independence and sovereignty, and devotion to the national interests of Afghanistan. Without such transformations, it would be impossible to even think about genuine people's rule or about the people's well-being. ... The April revolution was headed and carried out by the advanced forces of Afghan society, united in the People's Democratic Party, forces that had been persecuted very cruelly by the royal regime and had been hounded under Daud Shah. The April revolution was accomplished with very few casualties. This fact indicates not only that the former regime had outlived its time but also the closeness of the program put forth by the People's Democratic Party to the broad masses, which supported the revolution as their own vital cause. ... The enemies of democratic Afghanistan realized that every step along the path of the construction of a new life and the country's liberation from the chains of oppression was making hopes for the restoration of their lost positions more and more illusory. The external imperialist forces entered into direct collusion with the internal counterrevolutionary forces. The two forces greeted the emergence of the democratic republic with outright hostility, and they made no bones about their intention to do everything they could to push Afghanistan off its chosen path. ... The internal counterrevolutionaries and the foreign reactionaries hoped that the April revolution would be unable to cope with the blows that would fall upon it. They came to believe this to such an extent that they were counting the days and months until they would enter Kabul in triumph, and sometimes they even made no secret of their preparations for bandit raids in various areas. After all, the reactionaries enjoyed essentially unlimited support from US imperialist circles, the Peking leaders and the governments of certain other countries, which lavishly supplied the counterrevolutionary bands with weapons, materiel and money. ... Dozens of centers, formally called refugee camps, have been set up on Pakistani territory. There armed formations are trained and then smuggled into Afghanistan. They return to these camps and regroup after making raids on Afghan communities, communications lines and other objectives. The instructors who train these formations include staff members of the American secret services, Chinese specialists in so-called guerrilla operations, and even specialists in subversive work from Egypt. ... There is an obvious connection between trips to Pakistan by American emissaries, their visits to certain areas of Afghanistan itself, and the operations of the rebel forces. It was not by chance that the revolt in Herat, to which Afghan reactionaries, Washington and Peking attached special significance, began immediately after one of the ringleaders of the Afghan counterrevolutionaries was received at the US State Department." @default.
