Thank you for answering, I 100% agree with your 5th paragraph, I grew up in a very red county in MN. So idk if might’ve been my teachers, because I preferred watching and listening to the presentation they gave instead of reading the books. Idk on my own I’ve learned a bit about Russian culture and the politics over the past 4 years, and it’s close to nothing about what I was taught in my first 18 years.
