My senior year, students from my high school were going to visit the #SovietUnion. Except, the #Soviets did an #international #agression, and the trip was canceled.
My heritage includes #Germans who moved to #Russia as part of Catherine the Great's revitalization project. My father was *very* careful to explain that this didn't make his #ancestors #Russian.
I'm young enough that I missed the "Duck and Cover" drills, but I still knew who the #enemy was.
This is why I #grieve.
