This text shows the imapct the war had on Russia and it’s people, as well as the younger population. We have all heard the saying history is written by the winners but this book kind of proves that. After the war Russia taught their children what was in this book, some of it is correct but some of it is also straight up wrong. Just making their country look better to their people.
It also brings up the point of how we tell history after it’s happened. History is created when there are no first had accounts left to hear. Sure, today we still have WWII veterans alive, but once they die, the stories of the war truly become history to be preserved in museums. Leaving it up to the people to decide the importance of the history of a singular event, as well as how we educate the future generations.
