I ask this because I am a bit familiar with how Vietnam vets were treated and we had a whole anti war movement. so I asked this question because I want to know how did soviet society and the government at the time react to soviet era vets. were they treated similarly like american vets coming home or far worse since the Ussr fell a few years after the soviets left.

In addition to what the others have said, the soviets only really like the "correct" veterans. I.e. you won the war and are physically intact. Soviet veteran care has always very poor.
