I knew 6, 13, and 14.
There's an exceptional case in an F1 race that's held in Saudi Arabia or somewhere I heard. There they celebrate with rose water or something at the podium. (Definitely champagne at the hotel. haha)
We learned about Lenin at school. Also I read extensively about the Russian revolution when I was reading the Animal Farm. It's one of my favourite books even today. :D
