Racism will lower your grade. The Russian Federation is not communist. "Comrade" is not as common as it once was.

Are oh tee eff ell oh ell. Also, its not racism, its a national stereotype.

Yeah, it sounds like you're going to faceplant this project. Try something an actual post-Communism Russian might be proud of, like winning a humanitarian award for your efforts to improve the lives of children orphaned by the Stalin-era gulag, which was where your wife died.

That way its not only a national stereotype, but rooted in historical events.

I should probably have my head checked, because I find myself in complete agreement with Nikov.

Double bonus points for working in a "In Soviet Russia, <blah blah blah> you!" reference. Of course, no one in your class is old enough to actually remember Yakov Smirnoff.

I wish I could do that. Do you get more point for donning a Sovet-era uniform?

I would dock him points for that, since he'd be wearing a uniform from the wrong historical period.

I'm amazed that the addition of a suit would give you an extra 13% on an assignment. Especially when you only had 90% prior to the massive amount of bonus points you got. I'm guessing this assignment didn't matter much.

Maybe because he went through the extra effort?

Still, congrats on getting an A++ for your assignment.

Edit: Just out of curiosity, did you actually do the whole space bear thing?

i only got 4 ponts for the suit and no i never did the space bear thing, I found that the assignment had less to do with content and more to do with presentation and tone, such as being humble in your acceptance speech
