Library Stuff writes “From The Chicago Tribune:
Russians remember the Siege of Leningrad–a brutal, 872-day blockade of Russia’s second-largest city by Nazi troops that killed 1.7 million people–as a dark, crucial moment in their history. Yet one of the most popular history textbooks in Russian classrooms casually distills the event into a mere four words. “German troops blockaded Leningrad.”
Forgetting the past
Everyone expect that sort of thing to limited to the losing side but unfortunately, that sort of thing happens on both sides.
