[ColonelCassad] In addition to the heated controversy https://colonelcassad.livejournal.com/8118212.html about the need to remove Solzhenitsyn from the school curriculum.
Political scientist Sergey Markov, who is closely associated with the leadership of United Russia, on the issue of teaching Solzhenitsyn at school.
About Solzhenitsyn. No need to make a thriller out of our history. A sharp discussion broke out, should Solzhenitsyn's Gulag Archipelago still be taught at school?
1. What a discussion, very good. It is the people who should determine the priorities of school education.
2. Is the "Gulag Archipelago" really literature? This is historical political journalism. Therefore, it has no place in the course of literature.
4. In the course of history, perhaps a place. Where about the Stalinist repressions.
3. It is absolutely impossible to read this. And schoolchildren should not be forced to read "historical thrillers" about thousands of murders.
4. Schoolchildren must know about Stalin's repressions. But about tragedies, it’s somehow necessary to be drier, without winding up.
5. From Solzhenitsyn may be in the school curriculum on literature "One day in the life of Ivan Denisovich," this is a story about the unbroken spirit of an ordinary simple Russian peasant. This is literature. And read it a lot more.
6. The "Gulag Archipelago" is promoted to the maximum by the geopolitical enemies of Russia in order to present the Russian state as a murderous maniac.
| The Soviet state, anyway. Does the good colonel contend that the Soviet Union was a good thing? That Marxism-Leninism was a preferable political system to both the Russia of the Tzars and the current strong man-led semi-democracy? |
7. Conclusion, the "historical and journalistic thriller" "The Gulag Archipelago" should be removed from the school literature curriculum.

As you can see, the issue has already grown to a controversy within the ruling party.
I am sure that the elimination of Solzhenitsyn in the school curriculum is a matter of time - even now he looks like a frank vestige of the bygone era of the "march to the West." Issues with Memorial, Ekho Moskvy, Svanidze, Dmitriev, Novaya Gazeta, etc. were positively resolved. etc. Things will come to Solzhenitsyn with the Yeltsin Center.
In this regard, the NWO created favorable conditions for the elimination of at least part of the "legacy of Perestroika and the saints of the 90s." This should be used - the window of opportunity is not endless.
From Russian military blogger Andrey Chervonets:
Deputies defend Solzhenitsyn
Solzhenitsyn is not planned to be expelled from the school curriculum, said the head of the State Duma Committee on Education Olga Kazakova
Solzhenitsyn is a liar. His works should be given with comments - what and how it really happened. It's like graphomania and nonsense of the same Rezun-Suvorov to throw on children's unprepared brains in their raw form. This scribbler is a liar who harmed the country with his writings. He himself was a rat and denounced his cellmates.
When a book claiming to be allegedly historical and autobiographical is engaged in inventing facts out of thin air (especially with fictitious figures, it’s a big problem), and then the reader believes in them all his life, this really means that such a book is unlikely place in the list of school literature. In his writing. solid fiction, far from reality, but from the truth tembole.
I read "Archipelago", the artistic value is zero. Although I confess, for a long time already, I tried twice out of sporting interest (you need to know your enemies by sight), but I could not read the entire three-volume book. The pages of his lauded novels are impossible to read because of the undisguised hatred for the country in which he was born. Not even to power, but to people who live for it. Perhaps this is my personal feeling. And he praised Bandera. You need it too, right? Complete insanity, to include in the school curriculum the work of a man who called on the United States to strike with nuclear weapons at the USSR. Then we wonder where Kolya from Urengoy comes from.
I contend that there is a reason the West has never seen the totality of his work translate into English. Solzhenitsyn hated Jews.
| A very Russian attitude. The Protocols of the Elders of Zion was written by the Tsar’s secret police because they were certain it would be believed. |
But the deputies defend Solzhenitsyn. Now, if Volodin spoke about the fact that the book has no place in the school curriculum, the deputies would vied with each other to say that this was a timely and correct decision. But you know who should talk to Volodin about this. And since such a conversation cannot take place (for well-known reasons), he can only answer this with the words of Ensign Kazakov: “No! Set aside! We have subordination and seniority!”
Volodin is a reference to national Duma chairman Vyacheslav Volodin.
Ensign Kazakov is a reference to a character in the 1979 Soviet film "Border Dog Alyi".
