The press secretary of the Russian leader Dmitry Peskov commented on the situation with school textbooks, which do not contain information about the key events of the Great Patriotic War.
“He (Putin – Ed.) Was told about specific textbooks, but a cursory check of our specialists, my colleague Andrei Fursenko (head of the Ministry of Education – Ed.), (Showed) from what is now in effect, there are no such examples,” he said in Monday, April 26.
At the same time, Peskov admitted that earlier similar cases had been observed in many textbooks, which were printed “who knows who and how.”
On April 21, during his address to the Federal Assembly, Vladimir Putin said that he was still opening school textbooks and was surprised to see what was written there.
In particular, some textbooks lack information about important episodes of the Great Patriotic War, he stressed.
After that, the head of the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation, Sergei Kravtsov, said that the department would check the content of school textbooks.
