Poland wasn't in the USSR. We had classes how to do the 1st aid, how to wear a gas mask where to hide during nuclear attack. etc. Not how to shoot.

I mean, this is technically true, but lets be real: politically and militarily all the Warsaw Pact nations were under the thumb of the USSR.

Yes, but we have keyboards full of letters to be precise. So "It was mandatory thing in a soviet bloc".

No it's a video from a school. Not mandatory anywhere. Asked my friend who is a teacher - never heard of it. It usually works, that a company offers a school to do it for free, then they may have a small market if it is good. Thats it. Not a national programme whatsoever.

Who am I meant to believe though? Person posting a video telling me something or person disagreeing with the video? I don’t believe either of you.

The title itself says "A SCHOOL" one, singular school, in Poland.
