Well you either pretend to be stupid or just completely misunderstand me.
Soviet system = a system administrated by People's Councils. Every other country had different system of government, I don;t know what Afghanis had - but it wasn't a system of Soviets/Councils.
In USSR we had same 3 branches: Legislative (in fact more then legislative, hard to explain): Councils/Soviets, from village level to Supreme Council that was a Parliament of two houses, Council of the Union and Council of Nationalities. Then - Executive, from local Executive Committees to council of Ministers/People's Commissars. Then - Judicial, from local People's Courts to Supreme Court. Plus we had a Party structure that was parallel to legislative and executive branches. Plus we had Press/Media that _had_ to react to any correspondence and initialize investigation, involving all 3 branches plus Party.
That's too simple, but maybe will give you an idea.
There was no system of Councils in Afghanistan, they had something else, I don;t know exactly what. There was no Soviet administration there, Soviet 40th Army was solving current military and humanitarian (sic!) problems, and did it quite successfully.
Afghanistan didn't have "Soviet system", it had a different form of government. You see - I try to repeat everything at least twice and s l o w l y.
