My former officemate grew up in Russia in the 80s, he hated a shitload about growing up in the Soviet Union. He raved consistently about two things: the education system and gender equality.
His mother was a mathematician and computer programmer, and he didn't have issues with school there until after he'd been here (the US) as an exchange student and had some... Cultural differences with his teachers.
