State Duma Deputy Anatoly Wasserman called for the introduction of separate lessons about the Great Patriotic War in Russian schools. About this he stated in an interview with the Daily Storm.
He stressed that the new subject should be the same in form as the foundations of Orthodox culture. According to him, a lot in Russian culture is tied to the theme of Judaism, Christianity and Islam.
“The same as with the Great Patriotic War. And when they try to destroy us again, they hit these two cornerstones, we need to introduce a similar object, ”Wasserman said.
In addition, he noted that in parallel with the foundations of Orthodoxy, lessons could be introduced to study the foundations of military culture, since the history of the Great Patriotic War is incomprehensible without knowledge of military science.
Since 2012, most Russian schools have introduced a course on the basics of religious culture and secular ethics, which includes modules on the country’s main religions. Students together with their parents should choose one of the offered courses.
In 2018, the Ministry of Education of Russia allocated 40 million rubles to improve the effectiveness of teaching the subject “Fundamentals of Religious Cultures and Secular Ethics” in schools.
