Abstract
After the withdrawal of the US militaries, Russia has an opportunity to launch a policy towards Afghanistan from tabula rasa, because many of the imperatives of Soviet Afghan policy were leveled out or lost their significance. The new Afghan leadership is giving Moscow appropriate signs, remembering the long past of good neighborliness. But when formulating a new policy, both the miscalculations of Soviet policy towards this country and its strengths must be taken into account.
