There are hundreds of thousands of kids around the world who are getting a fire hose to the face of this propaganda, all under the guise of “education.” There have already been millions of kids who graduated with ACE as their primary mode of education, and have gone on to vote for far right politicians. As demonstrated in the last 30 or so posts, these kids are primed to oppose very basic scientific laws (interfering with the Covid, climate change, and transgender conversations). ACE’s revised history makes any conversation requiring historical context absolutely impossible. Their students are taught to believe that the physical manifestations of demons and literal human possession accounts for most of human history. And nearly all of these kids get an inadequate amount of socialization, by design. Easier to filter out opposing views that way.
All sources between 1981 and 1990, from an old 1981 pocket atlas whose name I forget to the 1990 ‘Information Please Almanac‘ have the USSR (not just Russia) as the third most populous country. I noticed that your source does not have totals for the entire USSR even whilst it was still a country.
Actually, in 1981 the USSR was the third most populous country in the world, although it had less than half the population of China or India.
The source I posted says 5th and then 6th -> https://ourworldindata.org/population-growth
Do you have one that disagrees? I'm open to changing it if so.

The PACE is explicitly discussing pre-Soviet "Russia" in every instance, and not the USSR.
What I forgot to do was post the estimations from the early 1900s, which all agree that Russia was the 4th most populous at the time, so I do need to update that. That's my bad: https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/population-by-country-in-1900
Sorry about my mistake!
No you're good! It was a mistake based on my incomplete writing/mistake. Thanks for the assist.
Keep up the good work, as someone who was indoctrinated similarly under a homeschool curriculum, I really appreciate what you’re doing here.
Hey, thank you so much! Encouragement is the currency that keeps me going.
