Abstract

The author of the article continues the study devoted to historical education in the USSR, presented through the prism of school textbooks on the history of the USSR and the fates of their authors. The changes in the field of education that influenced the structure and content of textbooks are considered: the transition from a concentric system of education to a linear one, from trial textbooks to stable ones. The negative factors that turn school textbooks into a propaganda tribune of ideological memorable dates and decisions of the CPSU congresses are shown.
