As I have mentioned a couple of times, and people choose to ignore me lol, the problem was that since the population was hostile and impossible to switch over for more than a temp time, the soviets were not ruthless enough. It was a half *** attempt at intervention. If they sent far more troops and just massacred the population wherever there was trouble, the situation would be solved quickly.
It is the same reason that the current one will fail. It was the same reason (or at least one of the reasons) that the Vietnam war failed for the americans (and the french). If you are going to send occupation forces where the population don't want you, you better be ready to either KILL or leave in shame.
