OMG. These kids are idiots.
They really have no idea about the Cold War.
My father was furious (he was Bohemian) when the Soviets rolled into Czechoslovakia; so was my grandfather (who spoke Polish); they lived in Chicago.
Do they not have any relatives who have any sense of recent history?
This is a massive failure of the education system. Propaganda instead of truth.
Exactly what the Soviets did, btw.
George Orwell — ‘He who controls the past controls the future. He who controls the present controls the past.’...............
“They really have no idea about the Cold War.”
Even worse: When 9/11 happened, they were around 4-5 years old. The cultural impact of the event has faded rapidly.
I can only imagine my grandmother would get disgusted at these kids. Soviets overran the Balkan States, she and her siblings and parents left their farm behind in Heufeld, Yugoslavia and didn’t turn back. Lived in Austria until they decided to just go to the U.S.A. Communists are not nice.
