US citizens urged to leave Russia Monday morning...
💥Rocky IV Flag?💥
This is supposedly to avoid wrongful detention... but why now all of a sudden? The timing is... strange.
What are the schools there like (their equivalent of K-12)? I am sure that they too do have some liberals trying to indoctrinate the students as I am sure younger Russians coming out of uni to be teachers have been influenced by Western Culture (not all, but some), yes?
Ok, could you maybe start a thread in General.win to keep this discussion/ Q&A going so it wont end up derailing this thread and getting all deleted for being OT?
School is definitely a frontier where the DS types were moving in on Russia. We saw some textbooks from the west that definitely sent the message that the west was the cool place and the hideous movies are the starting point for western culture. It's nothing like American schools but the west was definitely making inroads there. It will be interesting to see what happens on that front now. We homeschooled in the US and homeschool here too—there are some good groups that help our children socialize and get Russian-language coverage of school subjects. Other expats could answer better about what the school experience is like here.
