As Strugatsky Brothers Predicted

The Soviet education system suppressed the personality and encouraged the grayness.

The beginning of each school year is accompanied by regrets about the Soviet system of education that bit the dust. The deceased, they say, was the best in the world. And even skeptics are inclined to agree that it managed to hammer the exact sciences into the heads doubly tight. And we were building rockets, conquering the Yenisei...

Secondly, this system has not disappeared anywhere, lives in all of the former USSR.

And firstly, the best criterion for assessing that system is the prosperity of dictatorships, kleptocracy, feudal regimes in the entire former USSR.

For this, tremendous credit goes to that most beautiful education system, or rather to the system of suppression of personality and the promotion of greyness. The black came following those gray, as the Strugatsky brothers predicted.
