The USSR has controlled about 99% of Afghanistan in 1989 when Gorbachev has decided to left Germany and Afghanistan alone to show the West that has has got no knife behind his back.

Your propaganda may shit into your head as much as it wants, but there is a documentary video posted above. That was a march of winners. They have accomplished the mission in 1979. After that the Soviet army has simple secured the country to keep Najibullah in power. We have lost about 15,000 for 10 years there. The Mujahideens have lost 670 thousands to two millions, according to wikipedia.

Do you think that's not a good result? Just for a comparison. the United States have lost 58 thousands killed and 303 thousand wounded in Vietnam. You have officially lost that war.
