You know what we never really learned about in history? Anything about Russia, pre-20th century. And if we did, it was pretty brief. That's always been a part of history I've wanted to learn more about.

I didn't get much exposure to any Russian history, either. As I've always had a great admiration for the strength, pride, and spirit of the Russian people, I think it would have been interesting, too.
