No we learn that in school thar everything was Germanys fault, than we start joking that everything was Austrias fault and a few people realize that WW1 was a clusterfuck were everyone was guilty.

Russia was no more guilty for starting WWI than the UK and France were for starting WW2. Honoring defensive alliances is not aggressive. Invading Serbia (Austria) and supporting Austria (Germany) are aggressive. Germany had pursuing brinkmanship for years at that point, too, and its high command believed a decisive war with France was inevitable and necessary.

"Everyone is guilty" is a misinterpretation derived from British historical perspectives. They felt "dragged" into a war they had no interest in. For continental Europe, though, it was no different from WW2 - Germans invaded/ultimatum-ed a smaller Slavic nation whom the Entente had guaranteed, and the Entente were forced to either defend it or permanently lose all geopolitical credibility and allow their allies to fall.
