RE: Whom to ask for goodies if you aren't religious?
During my stay in Russia, I learned that in1930. many monumental Orthodox temples were destroyed. It was a horror!
Cities in Russia would be more nice, that those cultural monuments saved. Museums in Russia would be better, historical data would be more ...
Regardless of the dogmatism of ecclesiastical teaching and the abuse of the church, I think that we should emphasize belonging to this community.
Yeah, the revolution was a big hit, both socially and culturally for Russia and most of the countries that have ended up as part of the USSR. It is not only about destroyed churches, mosques temples and so on, but also of the violent, bloody regime that was set up in the years following 1917. Russia has lost a lot of educated, talented people, lucky of whom were able to flee abroad, and others have perished.
