Despite this policy, the Afghanistan government still retained good terms with both the United States and the Soviet Union. The countries' treaty of neutrality and nonaggression was first signed in 1928...Upon being elected Prime Minister, Mohammad Daoud Khan pursued close relations with the Soviet Union. The Soviets began a major economic assistance program in Afghanistan in the 1950s.[15] Afghanistan's strained relations with Pakistan over the Pashtunistan issue, as well as the 1954 military pact between Pakistan and the United States, was another large reason of the closer relations (but whilst maintaining non-alignment).[16][17] Between 1954 and 1978, Afghanistan received more than $1 billion in Soviet aid, including substantial military assistance. Link to "en.wikipedia.org" Quote Under the premiership of Mohammad Daoud Khan in the 1950s, foreign investment and development increased. In 1955, the Soviet Union forwarded $100 million in credit to Afghanistan, which financed public transportation, airports, a cement factory, mechanized bakery, a five-lane highway from Kabul to the Soviet border and dams, including the Salang Pass to the north of Kabul.[62] During the 1960s, Soviet-style microrayon housing estates were built, containing sixty blocks. The government also built many ministry buildings in the brutalist architecture style.[63] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kabul#20th_century

You can spot another PAZ (and a few Volgas) in one of the pictures here ( PAZ at 02:21 ) and the architecture is pretty much identical as here : Link to "www.youtube.com" I might find the exact location in this picture later on. Here's another Soviet bus ( LiAZ 158 V ) in this picture from Kabul in the 1960s. -- Last edit: 2021-11-27 03:53:43
