 Russia publishes historical texts praising the invasion of Ukraine

Vladimir Putin, the president of Russia, has increased his control over the teaching of the conflict in classrooms.

New history textbooks that emphasise the significance of "demilitarisation and denazification" in Ukraine have been published by Moscow. According to The Guardian, the textbook will support Russia's invasion of Ukraine in September.

Vladimir Putin, the president of Russia, has increased his control over the teaching of the conflict in classrooms.

According to AFP, the battle is increasingly being portrayed to the youngest Russians as a component of Moscow's historical duty. According to reports, the Kremlin ordered the coursebooks to be quickly written and targeted at 17-year-olds. At a press conference held in Moscow, the book was introduced.

The content, according to Education Minister Sergei Kravtsov, was created in a short period of time with the intention of "communicating to schoolchildren the objectives (of the Ukraine offensive)."

Reiterating Putin's declared objectives when he dispatched troops to Ukraine in February, he added, "The duties of demilitarisation and de-Nazification, so that pupils are persuaded that this is actually the case. 

The book's cover depicts the bridge connecting seized Crimea to Russia's mainland, a symbol of Putin's control that has been assaulted several times throughout the conflict. Kravtsov stated that it will be available "in all schools on September 1" and that it spans the years 1945 to the twenty-first century. 

In "just under five months," according to Mr. Kravtsov, the book was written. We will further supplement this book when the special military operation (in Ukraine) is over and we have won," he continued. Vladimir Medinsky, a presidential advisor who has drawn criticism for his traditional interpretation of history, welcomed the quick creation.

In such a short period of time, no textbook had ever been produced in our nation, he said. In essence, the authors wrote everything themselves.The textbook, according to him, "displays the state's point of view.

The book contains chapters on Russian forces "saving peace" in 2014 when Moscow took the Crimean peninsula from Ukraine.In addition, it criticises Western sanctions, stating they are worse than Napoleon's conquest of Russia in 1812. 

During its invasion in Ukraine, Russia has unleashed a crackdown on dissent that is unparalleled and has reached into schools.

A Russian kid was removed from her father in April after she painted a painting at school endorsing Ukraine. In order to instill patriotism in students, a new topic called "Talks on what is important" was established in Russian schools at the commencement of the Ukraine operation.
