The history schoolbook will be taught to high school students who are in the 11th grade across Russia. The announcement of the new history book was at a press conference in Moscow by Russia’s education minister, Sergey Kravtsov.

The Russian minister further maintained that after the "victory" in the "special military operation" in Ukraine, the education ministry will further add more details to the history schoolbook, which he said was written in less than five months.
The book also highlights the war in 2014 in the Crimea describing Russian soldiers “saving peace," when Moscow annexed the Crimea peninsula from Ukraine, which the history schoolbook repeatedly labeled as a "nazi state'.
