...of the Russia/Soviet Union that we learned about in textbooks growing up. The way Hollywood and our education system taught us about Communist countries really painted a convincing picture of things. Their paintbrushes are more expensive than ours i guess. Think Rocky IV and the pervasive images of breadlines when the USSR was shown on the news or in our school books. That's my memory of it anyway. Maybe I'm the only one who was always thinking of Russians as these poor, huddled masses standing in line, out in the cold air of a desolate city square that was once a bustling metropolitan hub (with a fallen bronze statue of Lenin or Marx or Stalin). I'm sure there is a lot of truth to the images and the information, keeping in mind that Russia had such horrible civil war under Lenin, and the list goes on and on, but I'm also sure that there was a lot left out about their culture and other very positive things going on in the country. I'm tired, so maybe none of this makes sense. I tried.
