My history class just taught us our day of russian history. We've learned about south america, mexico, europe. Never, not once has Russia been mentioned before this. One day. Of Russian history, and that's it. Regardless of how well or how thoroughly they teach this, if it's only for one day, it will be forgotten by the end of the month at best. I don't want that to happen to me. Before now, I had never heard of The White Army. I've heard The Red Army a few times. So what I've gathered from google (not class, that didn't teach anything), The Red army was for communism, and there's still people supporting the idea today, while the White army was for Absolute Monarchy, and was pushed eastward, and crushed into non existence by the Red.(I listened to Всё теперь против нас, it was really sad, as well as White Army, Black Baron) While I see many people fiercely against the Red army, it seems like its "common knowledge" that the White Army was terrible and hated? Their style, the way they dressed seemed...Different than the western Red style. Is the white army still... sustained anywhere, could I go to very eastern Russia and find White army supporters? While on the topic, has there ever been any sort of Capitalist Movement in Russia? I find Russians' constant search for peace and equality beautiful, as I sit here in America, where no such thought is cared about. We live for ourselves with this outer shell of "We care for others".
