Figure 1.--Here we see an uniddentified schho group. It does not look like a class group. Some of ythe children are students are wearing costimes, but modt are wearing their school uniform,s. Especially notzvle are the ujniforms and folk costumes. Somde of the boys are wearing Ruddiazn n;ouses andtwo girls are wsearing sarafan dresses and kokoshnik. The kokoshnik is the trafitionsl Russian headwear worn by womren and girls since the 10th century. We are not sure wshast the yonger children in the front are up to.

There is often a theme to the school groups we see dressing up. Military uniforms were very common, especially for the primary-age children. This might mean holidays recognizing veterans. It is interesting that during the Soviet era great deference was paid to the military and military service. Note that this was an era in which Marxism was the state Communist ideology. Yet there was none of this Marxist ideology that we see in American universities attacking the military and police and dishonoring military and police service. The different approach of Marxist professors in America and Communist counties is notable and worth discussing. A good example of a military theme is the 2nd graders on the previous page wearing military and nursing uniforms (figure 1). We suspect that this image would horrify many American school teachers who don't even like the Pledge of Allegiance having been influenced by Marxist professors. We also see folk costumes which of course touch on ethnicity, but they are not as common as the military themes.
