What Do They Teach?



Donetsk is really a city of the funsters. Or the сlowns - name them as you wish. Now they decided to refuse using the standard school handbooks of the Ukrainian history. Instead of the varified and tested by the famous scientists, they prefered to establish the 'local' handbooks which describe the country's history in a 'right' way. 'We received the numerous apeals from the parents who were indignant about the way their kids are now taught,' - said a guy with a typical 'regional' (meaning a 'Party of Regions') face. - 'We need to change the situation when the criminals are pesented as heroes.' 
That's so Soviet. I never know how to speak to the people like him. In fact, the reason here is not history but politics. And everybody in UA understand whose money are talking with his mouth. Still, as a reult we will have a generation of two-minded young people without a strong national identity who know - easy money are there - to the North and East.
