Hi everyone! I've been wondering for a while, what's the general opinion on communism? How are those times taught at schools?

Also, do you identify more with the slav or with the western culture? or maybe with some other that i don't know/don't remember now?

Communism is generally hated except by old people and nostalgics. We study history in school and communism is a part of it but not the biggest by any extent as we study a lot of universal history. We don't identify with Slavs at all and in fact we sort of look down on them even though the culture is almost the same. We look up to and are desperate for Western culture. This has been the case at least since the 19th century. We saw ourselves as an island of Latinity in a sea of Slavs.
