For me, that the Cold War began with the US wanting to stop Stalin's plans of imposing communism on the world. Did anybody else's curriculum portray Trotsky in a positive light? lmao it's funny to imagine the weirdos who write those textbooks were trots.
I had one section on the Russian Revolution in my world history textbook. Also a few books on it and 3 Lenin biographies in the library.
We also had to read Animal Farm and other "anti-communist if you completely miss the point" books.
Overall, it seems there were anti-communist or at least pro-individualist tendencies in the education, but enough information available to circumvent it.
