Image of the USSR: The Results of Contemporary Education

Abstract

Changes in the ideas of Russian society about the USSR are of significant interest. These changes are due to transformations of the external and internal environment, changes in the educational and media environment. The problem of the formation of modern images of the USSR in Russian society acquires high relevance in the context of the so-called “wars of memory”. Shifts in favor of a positive assessment of the Soviet period and a negative about the collapse of the country are obvious in Russian society. Moreover, this approach is also characteristic of the youngest age groups, despite differences in ideas with older generations.
