Well, I was at a state secondary school from 1992-1997 - and we did cover
Crimea in the history part of our "Humanities" lessons; I don't particularly
perceive these sudden blanks going down the stepped generations that you
ascribe.
Is it, as a consequence, "out there"? Probably like a lot of things learnt
at secondary school, only as a vague and irritating echo...
