This is so common with communist countries back in the day! My mom told me whoever was deemed exceptionally smart would be sent to another country for studies. In my moms case she went to med school but quit because she was tricked into thinking she could practice outside of Russia. I’m unclear of the details but they basically said if you become a doctor you have to stay here, so she quit and left for America. I’m unclear how accurate I’m telling it.

This is uncalled for. What is the point of making comments like this?

Edit: I also understand this may be a bad time to post things about Russia. But it is part of my past and it’s good to remember that people are also prisoners of their own country’s politics.
