Awesome ^_^ Well my influence came from RATM. At first I was only educating myself about Che Guevara, but then we started to talk about the Russian revolution. And then Communism got mentioned so I started to get interested. Not because I follow the way of thinking, but because... yeah it's an interesting history. And I still remember quite a few things learned in those lessons (which I came to know when I had to teach my co-writer about the Russian Revolution for the story, since she never heard of it (:O).)

I ended up getting good grades, and it's a shame that I couldn't follow history in my 5th and 6th (final year of secondairy) anymore, because I had too many subjects to follow.

And I remember Anastasia for being the best Disney cartoonmovie I've had ever seen when younger (since I was a big fan of DBZ at the time, I wasn't really a pinkprincess fan )

And for literatureclass I read a dutch book about the russian dynasty. It's about a guy that's obsessed about the family and discovers that there might be a connection between him and the tsaarfamily. The books is from Rasha Peper and is called Russisch Blauw (Russian Blue)
