Nothing shouts confidence and leadership like hastily evacuating your diplomatic corps. From a country the US once promised unwavering defense - right after convincing them to forfeit their nuclear arms.
Russians were leery about getting further into Afghanistan when they supported the Revolution. For one they thought the current communist leader was boneheaded, so they replaced him. Notice how the Russian get away with it, but not the US in Vietnam. Second there was a lot of cross border proselyting or Afghanistan into Russia. So by helping their communists comrades, the Russians hope to put a stop to it.
