« There is a kind of arrangement between historians – we do not discuss professionally events that are less than 5 years old. Because too little time has passed, we are not yet objective, not all consequences can be obvious, » – wrote Maria.
In addition, the described events can be trigger for students.
« It is difficult to talk about Irpin with children who fled from there in 2022 and saw the blasting of dams. It is difficult to speak with Kharkiv babies, especially from Saltivka. Children from the south are mostly silent and not commented. All this material passes through all their triggers, » Said the historian.
In her opinion, it is unclear what criteria the authors of the textbook chose topics for discussion.
« Here, for example, you all remember not the preparation for the war. Remember how everyone was running, worried, nervous through the autumn of 2021. – wrote Maria.

She also noted that the textbook lacks maps, information about military and volunteers, stories of the dead.
« Why write about it now? Where do we hurry? Why in 2025 the children in the exam should be material about 2024? Why are we talking about some people and silent about others? Why did the description of our war turn into a dry text about » They were there, these were here, here, here they retreated, « ? » – Mary is interested.
To the criticism of the textbook too joined CEO of the Museum of Holodomor Lesya Gasidigak. She paid attention to one of his authors – Akima Galimova.
« I do not understand how » Ukrainian journalist, screenwriter, producer, propagandist, author of documentary and historical projects « (this is a quote-regal from » Wikipedia « , that is not a » historian « ) can be the author of a textbook on the history of Ukraine », She wrote.
« UP. Life » appealed to the Ministry of Education and Science and is waiting for a response.
We will remind, in 2024 in the textbook « Protection of the Fatherland » They found a photo military in the form of the Russian Federation. The Ministry of Education and Science noted that it could not be used in the educational process because the term of recommendations from the Ministry has ended.
