The rewriting of Ukrainian history in Russia has reached the point of no return

In the third week of April 2023, three events related to the study of Ukrainian history took place in Russia almost simultaneously, which does not look like a coincidence. On April 17, the Foundation for the Study of Democracy Problems released the collective work named "History of Ukraine" with a foreword by Foreign Minister Serhiy Lavrov. On April 19, "Mediazone" reported on publishing the " Environmental Peace" school textbooks without mentioning Kyiv in the paragraphs about Russia. Also, on April 19, the Federal Archives Agency (Rosarchive) and the Russian State University for the Humanities (RDSU) released the collection "On Historical Unity Russians and Ukrainians. Documents" - an anthology of archival sources with the same title as the article by President Vladimir Putin. This may indicate the beginning of the formation of a new "canon" of the history of Ukraine in Russia - no longer of individual regions but of the entire country as a whole.
