The Teaching of History in Contemporary Russia
Prepodovanie Istorii v Rossii
Edited by Vera Kaplan, Pinchas Agmon and
Liubov Ermolaeva
Academic adviser, Larry E. Holmes

The essays collected in this volume address a broad array of topics ranging from the diversity of theoretical concepts represented in
post-Soviet textbooks, more generic questions concerning the content of history teaching and its social function, the necessity of introducing new kinds of historical courses in
school, a new equilibrium between world, national and local history, ways of adopting learner-oriented history teaching as well as new forms of teacher training and retraining. The
majority of contributors to the volume are to be counted among the initiators and active participants of the educational reform that has been unfolding in Russia since the early
1990s. Their essays are based on this professional experience. As such, they can also be treated as documents of the very process of reform. At the same time, they seek to
systematically examine the transformation taking place in the teaching of history. Both ‘internal’ and ‘external’ scholars are acutely aware of
the importance of tracing this process of change from its beginnings.
