The only V1 canon references I'm aware of are in the RDF Sourcebook, and even then it's brief.

[In 1989/90] the Soviet government became increasingly preoccupied with a rapidly modernizing China, their influence in the Middle East slowly waned. The war in Afghanistan dragged on interminably. Despite a steady influx of men and materiel, the Soviets were no closer to a solution than they were twelve years earlier.
Beyond that there's a few references to specific individuals / units having served in Afghanistan
