CURRICULUMUL DE ISTORIE ȘI PATRIOTISMUL ÎN RUSIA POST-SOVIETICĂ

Abstract

In the last two decades, history has regained its position as an important instrument in Russia’s internal affairs and the ex-Soviet space. Politization and instrumentalization of historic content wants to achieve a new seemless identity. This determines young students to view with admiration the historical past and the present with its current political leaders. Under the strict supervision of the polical class, Russia’s entire XXth Century history has been rewritten. This process did not lack opposition, but it was intolerant to alternatives. The articles intends to explore the way these events took place between fabrication of historical facts and replacing a truth that resurfaces.
