Great Heros! Geh!

Bet you most of those who voted for Uncle Joe on account of "beating back the Germans" conveniently ignored the little detail his full-spectrum bungling in matters military and foreign political was the chief reason the Panzers ever got past Poland in the first place.

Seriously, the somnambulatory way the purge-lobotomized and comissar-saddled Red Army went about its business around the turn of the decade would be comical had it not gotten so much people (Soviet soldiers mostly) killed for naught...

Thankfully, with what appears to become the new history book at Russian schools (it's in the draft sended to the teachers), they don't need to longer ignore that little detail. To ignore things, you actually need to heard about them first...

Not quite sure with what you are trying to say, but let's be frank. How many general history books have you come across that went into great detail of every single key figure?

Well, they usually doesn't contain lines indicating that Stalin's purges improved the efficiency. From what I understand, it goes downward from there (can't read russian os only second hand sources).

I'm refering to "The Modern History of Russia 1945-2006. A teachers guide" (Novejsjaja istorija Rossii 1945-2006 gg. Kniga dlja utjitelja), by Aleksandr Filippov and History of Russia and the World in the 20th Century, by Nikita Zagladin.

I was wrong, appearently is the second book is already used.
