Interesting, one detail that I missed in the last country: the derisive name of the youth coalition supporting the government is a malapropism suggesting a spelling error in Cyrillic when trying to write "students". Basically the "skollers".
The academic structure is taken much more seriously in this part of the world. Having a degree effects a qualitative change; you become an "academic citizen." Professional actors list their professors in their bios throughout their career. Random choruses of the Gaudeamus break out at bus stops and lunch-counters... [no]
The "unfinished solution" approach the protest groups have been taking there is interesting. Still not quite sure what to think of it.
In fairness, the title "students" isn't a name without negative connotations, when it comes to political groups -- cf. Afghanistan.
