“Something tells me the complete history of WW II is not taught in any great detail in public schools today, in Russia it’s probably taught and taught continually.”
Yes, like most non-Western countries, Russia does teach history, and it’s a lot to learn there, as they also cover the horrors of Communism and Fascism. The West doesn’t teach history, which is why the home to Communism/Fascism has moved to our society - as we see in DC and their support of the Nazi infestation in Kiev and Canada.
When I was in High Schoolin Florida during late 1970s, we were required to take a class called Americanism vs. Communism, it taught us about evils of communism versus freedom and capitalism.
That is a distant memory for Florida High School students.
