Hahaha I can do you one better, a friend of mine asked why people hated Hitler so much (she is from a caucasus country, I am in Mitteleuropa), she was under the impression that only Stalin was bad and Adolf was just a particularly motivated guy whom one could/should be ambivalent about, particularly when compared to Stalin. She did listen very carefully to me and is a very smart woman, don't get me wrong.

Her friend (also from said country) explained at a later point that the education system in said country had degraded significantly since... I'm sure you can guess the rest
