Soviet College Admission — My Dad's Story (1970)
Forgive me: This is both a comment on the content and in the process I mentioned something I made recently. I don't want any more users right now.I have a bucket for links called "Mythbusting" on this service I made named Scrooty.I called the bucket "Mythbusting" not as a reference to the TV show but rather for a particular category of content.I often run into misconceptions and tropes that bother me. One of those among people I encounter often is that the Soviet Union was so great compared to the US then or now. Another is things like, say, the excessive praise of Japanese longevity/health.This is a link I'm saving for the next time somebody tries to tell me how devoid of racism the Soviet Union was.Another recent link for this bucket was the (recent, but it's been ongoing) outrage among Chinese farmers not getting recompense for their land from the gov't confiscations.Stories like this are starting to be shared more. Here's hoping it keeps coming.
