Alexey Melnikov: "Memory of Soviet revanchists"

“The authorities do not want history as a desire to understand the tragic experience of the past and draw conclusions for the present, they want an ideology overturned into the past. History must justify their dishonorable actions.

Here are the general features of this ideology. My country is always right. If she did mean things, then you need to remain silent about it. She didn't make any mistakes. Children should not think; they should be taught history in a dogmatic, edifying spirit.

The goal is to educate, using historical examples, obedient executors of the will of the authorities. And if today’s high school students, taken into the army tomorrow, are told to occupy Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Belarus, and move to Poland, then they must obey unquestioningly.”
