Communism is taught as an inherently, purely evil thing in the schools in Finland but I was fortunate enough to have a Russian grandmother who taught me to question everything and taught me how shit really went. Thank every deity and demon for her honestly, I wouldn't be who I am without бабушка.

@notgomen One day, I mean to ask my last surviving grandparent how things were like in the USSR during her youth.

@NewEnglandite I highly recommend doing that. The stories are absolutely worth hearing and I felt like I got to know my roots better through her stories.
