"Damned" questions of Russian history. As in the USSR and Russia, the authorities wanted to get "correct" history textbooks
The difficult path of Russian history is from the 1917 revolution to the Stalinist repressions, the Great Patriotic War and a single textbook. For a long time, historical science in Russia is going through difficult times. The authorities regularly intervene in ambiguous issues of history, including Stalinist repressions, the Second World War, joining the Baltic states, trying to fit the story to favorable standards.
