That I don't know. They probably do say something entirely different now, but I'm sure history of the communist party is not something they dwell extensively on -g- So, I'm not even sure the story of Trotsky is in history textbooks anymore. And those who care... I guess are the communists. Few of those kind are left. Why would anybody want to study this stuff, unless it was required?

70 years under the Communist rule will probably be known in new history books as the "dark age" -g- All Lenin statues were removed, and there were a lot of them. However, I believe Lenin's corpse is still on display, which was done against his own will (to be buried). Totalitarian rule was not fun. You could not say anything without the fear of KGB. And yes, there were periodic regional elections, but you always had to vote for a single candidate, so few people attended. That changed after Gorbachev came. -ggg-
