Textbook - here is the plague

The title sheet of the textbook "History of Russia. The beginning of the XX - beginning of the XXI century"

The Ministry of Education and Science sent a textbook for the 10th grades “History of Russia. The beginning of the XX - beginning of the 21st century”, written by Oleg Volobuev, Sergey Karpachev and Peter Romanov, for an additional examination. This is stated in the minutes of the meeting of the Scientific and Methodological Council of the department published on Thursday on his website.

The minister of education and science Olga Vasilieva chaired by a meeting, which took place at a meeting, which took place in December. 19 members of the Council voted "for", two refrained. Examination should be carried out at the Russian Academy of Sciences. Its results should be presented until January 27, 2018.

Claims in the Federation Council arose to the textbook, Interfax reports . In October 2017, a textbook in his speech at a plenary meeting was mentioned by a member of the SF from the annexed Crimea Sergey Tsekov. He quoted the events of the spring of 2014: "So, the revolution that began in Kyiv became the phenomenon of international politics and spilled on a revolutionary wave in the other direction of the Crimean Peninsula."

The chairman of the upper house Valentina Matvienko called such a presentation of the material called “provocative” and invited the committee of the Federation Council on Education and Science “to specially study the sections of history textbooks on the accession of Crimea”.

Tsekov himself explained that he was outraged that the events in Ukraine in 2014 were called the revolution in the textbook. “As a bloody coup in Kyiv can be called a revolution, as proposed in this textbook? I, as a participant in the reunification of Crimea with Russia, causes bewilderment, if not indignation,” said SF from the annexed Crimea.

In addition, TV presenter Dmitry Kiselev made a claim against the textbook. In the plot dedicated to the performance in the Bundestag of the tenth grader of the gymnasium No. 1 of the Novy Urengoy Nikolai Testnichenko, he showed the textbook of Volobuev, Karpachev and Romanov and accused his compilers of the scandal. In fact, as Medusa found out , they study at the Urengoy gymnasium on another textbook.
