Questions about the war between Russia and Ukraine and the temporarily occupied territories have been added to the demonstration version of the Russian Unified State Exam in History (known in Russian as the USE) for 2025, which is analogous to the Ukrainian EIT.
This was reported by the ZMINA Human Rights Center with reference to the Russian media.
ZMINA found that task 4, which asks graduates to connect geographical objects with historical events and dates, mentions Kherson. The student is supposed to answer that this city allegedly became part of the Russian Federation in the 2020s, although in fact Kherson is under Ukrainian control after de-occupation in 2022.
In the next task, the list of historical figures along with Russian emperors includes Volodymyr Zhoga, the commander of the Sparta battalion, which was part of the illegal armed group DPR and died in March 2022 during the war. The task is to correlate the names with historical events, and in this case, the correct answer is "SVO" (special military operation).
Questions about the war in Ukraine and the occupied territories have already appeared in the Unified State Exam (USE) in history last year. In particular, they mentioned the "accession" of part of Ukrainian territory to the Russian Federation.
Earlier, the "deputies" of the so-called "regional duma" of Kherson region presented a draft law "On spiritual, moral and patriotic education in Kherson region". The initiators of this bill were "deputies of the Kherson Regional Duma" from United Russia. According to the Kremlin's proxies in the occupied territories of Kherson region, "in the era of global confrontation with the West, the struggle is for the minds and hearts of people. Therefore, through patriotic education and strengthening traditional spiritual and moral values, they plan to unite Russian society and strengthen national identity. That is, to destroy the Ukrainian identity.
Previously , the occupation authorities of the Kherson region forced children to tear up the graves of victims of Nazi mass shootings in 1941-1943 near Henichesk. The invaders called this involvement of schoolchildren in the exhumation of human remains"patriotic education." In addition to children, heavy machinery was also involved in the "search work," which could simply destroy the burial site.
