Intergroup Perceptions

Many scholars stress that teaching about the shared past plays a major role in the formation of national, ethnic, religious, and regional identities, in addition to influencing intergroup perceptions and relations. Through the analysis of historic narratives in history textbooks this paper shows how the governments of the Russian Federation and Ukraine uses state controlled history education to define their national identity and to present themselves in relations to each other. For example, history education in Ukraine portrays Russia as oppressive and aggressive enemy and emphasizes the idea of own victimhood as a core of national identity. History education in the Russian Federation condemns Ukrainian nationalism and proclaims commonality and unity of history and culture with Russian dominance over “younger brother, Ukraine”. An exploration of the mechanisms that state-controlled history education employs to define social identities in secondary school textbooks can provide an early warning of potential problems being created between the two states.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the opinions of Russian university students on the understanding of Korea, to find out the degrees and errors of understanding Korea, and to derive the contents and methods for notifying Korea immediately to Russia. Accordingly, this paper surveyed the opinions of Korean geographic knowledge, Korean cultural and economic situation knowledge by surveying “consciousness about the understanding of Korea” of Korean learners and non-Korean learners of Kazan Federal University in Russia. Through this, Korean governments, institutions, and social organizations must teach Russian university students general knowledge about geography, history, economy, and society of Korea. It is necessary to promote Korea's accurate situation through the media. Active and continuous efforts to enhance the image of Korea are needed. It is necessary to expand the contents of Russian secondary school textbooks about Korea and to train teachers.

Niniejszy artykuł traktuje o Rzezi Wołyńskiej analizowanej w kontekście kryzysu ukraińskiego. Badanie skupia się na interpretacji instrumentalnego wykorzystywania przez Rosję, Ukrainę i Polskę zagadnień związanych z eksterminacją polskiej ludności cywilnej przez ukraińskich nacjonalistów. Opracowanie podzielone zostało na trzy części. Pierwsza odnosi się do polityki propagandowej Federacji Rosyjskiej. Ta część pokazuje w jaki sposób Kreml używa kwestii związanych z Rzezią Wołyńską do tworzenia korzystnej dla siebie narracji. Druga część poświęcona jest próbom budowy ukraińskiej tożsamości narodowej na dziedzictwie ukraińskiego nacjonalizmu. Autor analizuje w niej także konkretne działania elit ukraińskich, związane z tematem artykułu. Trzeci fragment natomiast analizuje sprawę Rzezi Wołyńskiej w oparciu o polską raison d’État. W tej części autor przedstawia nie tylko polskie spojrzenie na Rzeź Wołyńską w kontekście kryzysu ukraińskiego, lecz także odnosi ją do geopolitycznego znaczenia Ukrainy dla Polski.

Concept Of Information

Preparing children for safe behavior on the Internet is one of the most important tasks of secondary school, which is recognized at the state level. It is confirmed by the order of the Government of the Russian Federation of December 2, 2015 "Concept of Information Security of Children for 2018–2020" and the order of the Ministry of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Media of the Russian Federation of February 27, 2018 "On Approval of the Action Plan for the Implementation of the Concept of Information Security of Children for 2018–2020". The First Region Week of Cybersecurity was held as part of the implementation of this plan in October 2018 in the Arkhangelsk region. The article is devoted to the description of one of the events of this week — the contest of tasks on cybersecurity. The article presents the conceptual basis for the development of a system of competitive tasks, which were offered to schoolchildren of different classes of secondary school, and provides examples of problems with solutions. The authors of the article believe that the inclusion of such tasks in the content of school computer science textbooks will give teachers really effective tools to prepare schoolchildren for recognizing cyberthreats and the correct behavior when meeting with them.

This paper discusses the results of the survey conducted in co-operation with the European Research Center for Migration and Ethnic Relations, concerning identity in the Autonomous Republics of Russia and Ukraine. The survey queried 6522 residents of such republics as Bashkortostan, Karelia, Komi, Sakha (Yakutia), and Tatarstan in Russia, and Crimea in Ukraine. It examined the construction of social identities, common narratives regarding threats and deprivations, confidence in public institutions, the prevalence of views toward national minorities as ‘fifth columns’, ethnic stereotypes, ethnocentrism, and other conflict indicators. An early warning model, built on the basis of the results, measured the potential for conflict based on these factors, and found that it was most pronounced in Bashkortostan and Crimea, and to a lesser extent in Tatarstan. Conflict was less likely in Sakha, Karelia, and Komi, although there were still certain indicators that suggested potential problems, including moderate support for independence in these republics.

The article considers the role of educational concepts as a tool for improving the quality of Russian education. The stages of the development of the Concept of the academic subject „History” are highlighted, starting with the appearance of the Concept of a new educational and methodological complex on Russian history, which includes the Historical and Cultural Standard (2014). The reasons for the separation of two educational courses („History of Russia” and „General History”), which make up a single academic subject „History” at the level of basic documents, are analyzed. The author considers and substantiates the need for a unified concept of school history education in the Russian Federation: general scientific-historical, didactic, methodological approaches; the role of Russia in key events in world history, the importance of Russian culture: through the general historical context; using the educational potential of history, etc. The question is raised about the expediency of developing a holistic concept of school history education, which would include the following structural and thematic units: the course „History of Russia”, the course „General history”, the regional component on history education, the system of additional history education.

Analyzed are the causes and peculiarities of the student migration from and within Yaroslav region. It is stated that the majority of school leavers from small and middlesized towns strive to enter universities in the big city of Yaroslavl (the regional center). At the same time the study has revealed that applicants from lowlevel income families try to enroll on a budget at universities of their own city. Applicants from families with middlesized income try to enroll in the universities of a more developed city. Applicants from families with high income seek to enroll in universities of Moscow and St. Petersburg or universities of Europe, USA and China. The authors have stated that the students of high schools are oriented to resources of their families and elaborate their educational and professional strategies out of real possibilities, not their wishes. The study shows that the more resources a family has the more children are attached to the opinions of their parents. As in depths interview show, the parents develop educational and professional trajectories of their children out of family resources. While elaborating professional trajectory of their children, some parents follow ethnic and national traditions and gender stereotypes regarding the roles of women and men in the labor market. The COVID-19 pandemic corrected significantly plans of low and middlesized families. Applicants prefer not to enter universities in case they cannot be enrolled on a budget. The measures are suggested to keep the most capable part of the youth in the region and attract young people from other parts of the Russian Federation.
