The head of the Karachay-Cherkess Republic confirmed a quick edit in the material about repressed peoples in the school history textbook

The presentation of the historical fact about the deportation of a number of peoples of the USSR will be changed in the new history textbooks for grades 10 and 11. The head of Karachay-Cherkessia Rashid Temrezov spoke about this after a meeting with the Minister of Education of the Russian Federation Sergei Kravtsov.

According to Temrezov, the author of history textbooks, Vladimir Medinsky, conveyed the point of view of representatives of peoples who were subject to repression in the USSR. He agreed that some of the text on this topic was taken from the previous version of the materials without changes. It will be changed in the near future.

Earlier it was reported that the authors of a new textbook on the history of Russia (edited by Assistant to the President of the Russian Federation Medinsky) would rewrite the chapter on the deportation of the Caucasian peoples “in an accelerated manner” after the dissatisfaction of the head of Chechnya Kadyrov. The Chairman of the Chechen Parliament, Daudov, stated that, on Kadyrov’s instructions, the entire circulation of the book was confiscated from republican schools, but subsequently deleted this message.
