Russian history is a necessary topic to study in order to understand what is happening to the rest of the world, including America.

I've typed it out below:

>"The main thing is what goes on up there in the government concerning the conservation of monuments, restoration projects, etc. It’s a question of protocol, for how they select contractors. Who selects contractors? Of course, not the best firm with the most experienced professionals, but the opposite. Some random firm, which pays bribe on time."

>"It’s no mistake, but a calculated and flagrant effort by the government to destroy the people’s National Heritage. All that is done today on this memorial, on the Red Liage. All is done not by the means of government funds, but by charitable donations from good willing citizens and volunteers."

>"In Norway, there are 28 Stave Churches left. They protect them, like the apple of their eye. Our country is much bigger, memorial sites used to be much more. Much more than in Norway. But here is left just us much. And we protect them so poorly, preserve them so poorly. If we lose all of them; in my opinion, we will lose ourselves. Moreover, no Russian will be as such. Because it is so much “ours.” Well, if we voluntarily renounce from it, then, hello goodbye! There won’t be an “us!”"

It's chocked full of good parts. I really recommend watching it; it's both wholesome and haunting.

Thank you to for the channel recommendation.

Sohlzenitzen wrote about that in Chapter 4 from the Gulag Archipelago:

>We have to condemn publicly the very idea that some people have the right to repress others. In keeping silent about evil, in burying it so deep within us that no sign of it appears on the surface, we are implanting it, and it will rise up a thousandfold in the future. When we neither punish nor reproach evildoers, we are not simply protecting their trivial old age, we are thereby ripping the foundations of justice from beneath new generations. It is for this reason, and not because of the “weakness of indoctrinational work,” that they are growing up “indifferent.” Young people are acquiring the conviction that foul deeds are never punished on earth, that they always bring prosperity.
