[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This article talks about how state propaganda helps feed a sense of nostalgia about what people think life was like under Stalin: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.com/news/amp/world-europe-47975704

If you look at a Russian textbook used in schools (which I have), you’ll see these messages echoed.[/quote]

I don't know what to tell you.  I have a niece who's a freshman in college, so her school experience is pretty recent.  She reports that Stalin was covered in very critical terms as recently as two years ago.   Read less BBC, talk to more people.[/quote]

Where does she go to school?

I did talk to people and read the actual textbooks. I have a copy of one in my house. Did you read the Levada poll I posted? The majority of Russians see Stalin in neutral or positive terms. That was as of this March.[/quote]

In Moscow, as it were.  Smack in the middle of it all![/quote]

LOOLLL

You’ve got to be joking. Of course things are different in Moscow!! That’s a center of elites. You can’t generalize for the rest of Russian education based on someone’s experience in Moscow. The Levada poll is just one of a million pieces of evidence to substantiate that.

You really don’t know much about that country.[/quote]

Is it your contention that schoolchildren in Moscow use their own special textbooks?[/quote]
