FIRST RUSSIAN REVOLUTION IN HISTORY TEXTBOOKS
The article deals with the change in the policy of historical memory of the First Russian Revolution of 1905-1907. The author compares the policy of historical memory in the Late Soviet times, in the years of Perestroika, in the 1990s and 2000s. It is noted that it underwent radical changes in the years of Perestroika and in the 1990s, but in the 2000s it returned to the historical narrative developed in Perestroika times. The main reasons for the transformation of the memory policy were related to the transformations in social and political life that took place in our country during these years. As a basis for the analysis, the texts of history textbooks for secondary schools and universities, as well as materials of the periodical press devoted to this event, are taken. The author comes to the conclusion that in post-Soviet Russia, the First Russian Revolution was on the periphery of mass historical consciousness.
