The other side: in USSR we were not even taught about WWII. It was "The Great Patriotic War". And it was all Red Army vs. Germans.

I was taught in the Russian school system, and while it's true that main emphasis is on the eastern front, but the rest of the world is broadly represented.

I have never meant a person that was not aware of the other fronts, and did not know at least the broad strokes of France/normandy/etc.

Well, the time I am talking about was the last decade of the USSR. Access to information was way more limited then.
