Sadly this reality is being experienced by Ukranian children today.
I went through the same, only my school had a bomb-shelter. I also remember my history and geography books always showed photos of the Soviet Union in black & white. The result was a subliminal indoctrination that those citizens had no color in their lives.

But you make a very interesting point about how we are all manipulated from an early age to believe whatever someone wants to think ;-)
