Synchronized with TV propaganda: what story will be taught in schools this year

Network analyst Dmitry Milin looked through history books for secondary schools and wrote out several quotes from there, from which reading not only a historian, but also any normal person, will make hair stand on end. And this is what they are going to feed our children and grandchildren in history lessons:

“The extremism of the Decembrists, the blood they threatened Russia with, turned out to be a long break in reformist efforts for the country, and later a painful and overly cautious approach to constitutional reforms, to the abolition of serfdom. The evolutionary path of the country's development turned out to be slowed down ”.

(History of Russia XVIII - XIX centuries., A. Sakharov, A. Bokhanov)

“However, other researchers drew attention to the fact that the regime of JV Stalin largely reproduced the features of traditional despotism of the times of Ivan the Terrible and Peter I, who solved the problems of modernizing the country, resorting to centralization of power, repression, an increase in extortions from the peasantry, etc. In favor of this judgment says that after the creation of a modern industrial base, the nature of society in the USSR began to change, and the result of this evolution was the adoption of democratic values inherent in developed countries. "

“In the Western countries, a united anti-Russian front has formed, led by the United States, which aims to“ punish ”Russia for Crimea and the majority of the population of the southeastern regions of Ukraine reject the nationalism of the Kiev authorities by means of a system of sanctions ... Despite the repeated cessation of hostilities, shelling continues territories of the DPR and LPR, which is accompanied by destruction and loss of life ”.

“The main idea of the national projects - investments in people, investments in human capital - corresponded to the general strategy of the country's economic development. The main instrument for achieving this goal should be corporations with a predominance of state capital. They are expected to be able to operate as effectively on the world market as Gazprom and Rosneft ... "

One of Milin's readers, journalist Mikhail Sokolov, noted precisely that now history textbooks in Russia are fully synchronized with television propaganda. Other readers are commenting on this post without hiding their outrage:

- I was born in the city where the Decembrists Ryleev, Pushchin, Muravyov Apostol and others were exiled. I studied at the school named after the Decembrists and we were always taught that they fought for the freedom of the people, against tyranny. No amount of Putin's propaganda will change the attitude of our generation or the generation of my children towards them.

- I think that today every tenth parent will easily refute these historians, and his children will tell all their friends. Without a complete gagging of the people, this story will not take root, but will only indicate the lies of the authorities in everything.

True, there was also such an opinion:

- Most of the parents do not care what their children go through in schools. The main thing is to be full, to have toys such as Apple headphones and to enter the university on a budget. Well, rest in Sochi or Crimea in the summer.
