Russia introduces new history textbook for schoolchildren on war with Ukraine

Children across Russia have returned to school with a new history book on their desk.

"The basics of defending the motherland offers an alternate reality for pupils learning about the Ukraine war.

The chapter on the so-called Special Military Operation contains a quote from Vladimir Putin, claiming that Russia didn't start the war.

The biggest question is, what will Russia do after Putin is dead and gone.

[thinkerly]

Russian history books never tell about the Ribberntrop-Molotov Treaty, its signing on 23 August 1939, and how Russia and Germany divided Europe and how Russia supported Germany for two years while the Germans killed and occupied the Norwegians, Poles, Luxembourgians, Danes, Belgians, French, and bombed British cities. Russia made that war possible.

I thought this was a 3 day operation not a war?

I always love how Russia has middle age women that will tow the government line to roll out for any kind of news segment.

Anyone else notice that Western media is allowed into Russia, but Russian media aint allowed in many "Western" states...

In Italy the history taught at school ends with world war 2. This is to avoid controversial political issues that more recent events might carry with them.

[marcobassini]

At least it seems that in the first pages of the textbook the map of the ancient Roman Empire looks correct.

Fantastic we need a history lesson on palestine and america

[Ghurshah]

Governments manipulating history in school textbooks is standard practice in every country.

2 year back isn't history that can come in atleast history books, it's current affairs

As opposed to sky news stopping comments on "certain" clips. Take a look inwards.
