Russian textbooks distort Ukraine’s history for schoolchildren

Russian textbooks for schoolchildren distort the history of Ukraine, particularly Donbas. They lack terms related to Ukraine and emphasize the connections between Rus and Moscow.

In brief

  • The fifth-grade textbook does not include the term 'Kyivan Rus'.
  • Kyiv is referred to as the 'capital of Rus' in the textbook.
  • The sixth-grade textbook describes Ukraine as a historical mistake.
  • The inclusion of Donbas lands in the Ukrainian republic is described as 'against the will of the residents'.
  • The textbook claims that the inclusion in Russia was 'beneficial for our region'.
