Patriotic education in today’s Russia

Summary/Abstract: This article examines the role of patriotic education in contemporary Russia, with particular attention to the centralization of curricula and political use of history teaching. Drawing on Russian-language publications, official documents, and textbooks, among other sources, it explores how patriotic values are embedded in school curricula and how the state shapes historical narratives to promote loyalty and national unity. The article also addresses the standardization of textbooks and the evolving role of teachers, who are increasingly tasked with ideological education. Furthermore, it analyzes the institutionalization of patriotism in education policy and the integration of patriotic education into school subjects that now include military components. The study aims to provide a balanced view of how patriotic education functions within Russia’s centralized political system, taking into account both Western criticism and the official Russian narratives.
