Russian high school seniors will return to classrooms this week to find history rewritten in the image of President Vladimir Putin.
A new textbook — churned out in just four months and touted as the first state effort to unify teaching of the subject since the Soviet era — echoes Kremlin propaganda justifying the war in Ukraine, the latest stage of a drive to shape the worldview of a new generation.
The book will be used by history teachers across the country, including in Russian occupied Ukrainian territories, to teach students in their final year of high school about the period from 1945 on.
They will read that the Kremlin’s “special military operation” is unifying society against an “ultranationalist” neighbor and its Western backers, who are to blame for instigating the conflict. Russian soldiers are profiled as heroes, with no mention of civilian casualties or war crime accusations. And it’s all in line with the country’s past, which has some of its harshest chapters presented in a softer light.
NBC News spoke with Russian history teachers — both former and active — about the push to teach a version of history that matches the Kremlin’s propaganda. Some expressed anger and dismay about the new textbook.
“From the teaching perspective, it’s very primitive and boring,” said Tamara Eidelman, 64, who taught history for 40 years in Moscow and runs a popular history channel on YouTube.
“From an ideological point of view, it’s simply poison,” she said.

…..and boys in girls bathrooms are okay, men in woman’s sports is okay, chopping off your body parts to become the opposite sex is okay, all the while they can’t define what a woman is.
You’re posting NBC news as being factual and accurate about *anything*?
Lol.
We didn’t used to be.
I remember going to schools where the teachers enjoyed talkig with the parents (mom and dad).
I remember when the teachers and parents all had their kids best interests at heart. Regardless of personal beliefs.
I remember when teachers and parents largely had the same common definitions of what was good and bad was, with respect to the kids.
I remember when teachers didn’t tell kids to hide whatthey were being taught from their parents.
Not that long ago.
Not my flag
Not my nation
Not Mr problem
How much longer ol’ Vlad has left in him?
As was the case when ‘Uncle Joe’ died, within hours and days, every trace, letter, portrait, anythinv with a semblance was removed and destroyed, AND so went all the staff.
My daughter’s history books were written to twist the Vietnam War.
Probably the history books twist the history of many other wars...including the war on poverty...and many non-war events.
LOL !
