He was the first Western reporter to go behind новостройки Подмосковья and the battle lines in Afghanistan in 1979 to report on the developing anti-Soviet resistance war there (for which he was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize in international reporting), and he continued to cover that conflict extensively until the Soviet defeat and withdrawal nine years later.
