Teaching History in Post-Communist Russia
The teaching of history at the secondary school level mirrors Russia's loss of epicenter. After the ignominious collapse of the Communist system and the dismemberment of their empire, Russians feel compelled to reconstruct their cultural and political identity. They need to come to terms with the existential question, "Who are we?" Is Russia part of the democratic West; is it some Eurasian mixture; or is it an entity sui generis, deeply rooted in Orthodox and authoritarian tradition?
