Russia to remove Ukraine and Kyiv from textbooks

Russia is now going to try and erase Ukraine from its textbooks.

www.pravda.com.ua...

Employees of Prosveshchieniye [Enlightenment], one of the oldest Russian publishers of educational literature, are being forced to remove all mentions of Ukraine and Kyiv from textbooks.

Unnamed sources are being told to lose their job or remove mentions of Ukraine and Kyiv.

According to two employees of Prosveshcheniye, speaking on condition of anonymity, they are being forced to rewrite history textbooks for Russian schoolchildren or lose their jobs.

I no longer believe Russia will stop once it finishes its land bridge in the south of Ukraine. I now lean to the fact that this is an ongoing genocide. Erasing people from existence and now history. At least in Russian history. I also expect a full disconnect from Russia from the internet and to implement their own to keep the masses fed what Russia wants them to know and only what they want them to know. Which Russia has also been running tests and disconnects test on RuNet for years.

It appears the order was set as early as 2014, but is just now being implemented.

"We have a task - to make it seem as if Ukraine simply does not exist. It is much worse when there is nothing about a particular country in the textbook. People grow up without a knowledge base about a country, and then it is much easier to believe what they are told on TV."

Thoughts?

It’s a real mandate that was done in 2014. It’s been going on slowly for years. They just hit the accelerator on it. Did you read the article?

It is noted that the policy of "purging" Ukraine and Kyiv from Russian textbooks was set as early as 2014 - since then, authors and editors have had to mention Ukraine as rarely as possible and in the most neutral tone.

I’m not even going to pay the issue. A select few here never question anything that comes out something like Russia Today. If it doesn’t fit the Russia is world hero narrative….hit piece. Russia being canceled not trying to cancel. Clown world.

There are no good guys in this world. People that think Russia is cleaning Nazis and protecting the Donbas are just as ignorant as people that think Ukraine is innocent in all aspects.

Thoughts will be when there will be evidence of this.

The disease of the West should not be attributed to Russia; it has never been ill with this.

I disagree with your second line.
Especially in the Stalin era, it was the norm for people who had gone out of favour to be erased, e,g, from books and even official photos. Notoriously so. So any western practice along these lines has been learned from Stalin.

It doesn’t really matter what they do.
The history of Ukraine and Kiev have already been documented.
Russia isn’t the only source to document their history.

Here we are talking about history and not about the fight against political opponents in the USSR.

Or do you know examples when some countries or events of history were canceled in Stalin's textbooks?

No.

I think you are mistaken

History is written by the victors; what else is new?
