It's a very high stakes gamble in ex-USSR tho. If there is not enough niche schools of thought based on all shit that happened and then flipped backwards in a timeframe of just 20th century, with all kinds of opinions about these, you also have completely made up theories and conspiracy ideas, and states supporting some over others based on short-term vibes and their ongoing fluctuation. Your random teacher may be initially any kind of a normie or a niche nerd, but the nature of the subject, it's cooption by all previous and current regimes, it's connection to politics and military, and a lot of news of historians going crazy up to federal level makes it statistically unlikely you'd have someone without strong and explicit opinions about everything from the dawn of time up until now.
