Taj-bek Palace, 1979-1989
The Taj Beg Palace was built during the reign of Amanullah Khan in the 1920s with the help of a group of German architects as a residence for the royal family. The palace was first damaged on December 27, 1979, when KGB and GRU special forces eliminated the Afghan dictator Hafizullah Amin. The walls of the palace were fired upon by Shilka self-propelled anti-aircraft guns. However, the 23-millimeter shells from the anti-aircraft guns bounced off the walls of the palace like rubber balls – the Germans knew and know how to build "conscientiously". The damage to the interior of the palace was significant and required major repairs. After the renovation and until February 1989, the palace housed the headquarters of the 40th Combined Arms Army of the TurkVO. During the fighting in the 90s of the 20th century between the Mujahideen units and in the fight against the Taliban, the Taj Bek Palace was destroyed. http: www.vkimo.com node 1718

Now there is no one to ask what kind of buildings these are. Maybe someone knows? Due to my youth, I apparently wasn’t very interested and therefore didn’t remember what they told me. Maybe this is the "old town"? The direction is, of course, conditional. My father took the photographs.

Swimming pool in Herat., 1963
In 1963, my parents went to Afghanistan on a business trip. Our specialists (about 600 people) built the Kushka-Herat-Kandahar highway. At the other end, specialists from the USA built it. Ours trained the local population, who then ran away to work for the Americans; they paid more there. This photo shows a swimming pool for Soviet specialists. In the background is a hotel being built for them. Until its construction was completed, ours lived in the private sector.
