Olga Vasilyeva, an official from the presidential administration, has been appointed in his place.

The Kremlin website notes that among the tasks of the AP unit is the preparation of proposals “to strengthen the spiritual and moral foundations of Russian society, improve work on the patriotic education of young people.”
As Kommersant wrote in 2013, one of the most successful management projects in which Vasilyeva worked, in the first year of its existence, was the exhibition “Orthodox Russia. Romanovs" in the Manege. Its visitors, in particular, were told how the Romanovs "defeated internal and external enemies", and the Decembrists planned to plunge Russia into "bloody chaos of unrest". Vladimir Putin spoke positively about this exhibition...
At a private lecture on patriotism for members Party "United Russia" Olga Vasilyeva said that "Stalin, for all his shortcomings, is a public good, because on the eve of the war he engaged in the unity of the nation, revived the heroes of pre-revolutionary Russia and engaged in the propaganda of the Russian language and literature, which, by and large, made it possible to win the war."

From servility and worship to the leaders, turbulences occur in the brain?
The Federation of Jewish Communities of Russia (FEOR) demanded that the new Minister of Education, Olga Vasilyeva, clarify her attitude towards the Stalin era. According to the head of the department public relations FEOR Borukh Gorin, “it is very important for the new minister to clarify his position and leave no room for ambiguity, because this is an important issue not only for the formation of Russia, but also for the future of the country in general,” he said. Gorin explained that after the appointment of a new minister, “some quotes taken out of context” began to be used everywhere, which “do not add optimism” regarding the personality of the new minister.
“Any attempts to treat the Stalin era with greater understanding, as is often the case: there was such a time and so on, scare me very much, because I believe that the Stalin period was deadly for Russia. A whole class of people was destroyed, free thought and post-revolutionary enthusiasm were destroyed, which were replaced by fear of terror, ”- quotes his words of the representative of FEOR "Interfax".
Olga Vasilyeva was appointed to the post of Minister of Education last Friday, August 19. After that, the media started talking about her statements in favor of Stalin. So, in 2013, Vasilyeva at a lecture in front of members of " United Russia"Noted that Stalin, with all his inherent shortcomings, was still a boon for the state, since before the start of World War II he was able to rally the Soviet people. She also noted the measures to promote the Russian language in the USSR, initiated by Stalin. In addition, allegations attributed to Vasilyeva, including the exaggerated scale of the victims, have become widespread. Stalinist repressions and the approval of Stalin as head of state.
Comment by Alexander Prokhanov:
The Federation of Jewish Communities of Russia turned to the new Minister of Education, Olga Vasilyeva, with a request to give them an account of how she relates to the personality of Stalin. Moreover, in this rather firm demand, the idea was voiced that if Vasilyeva's attitude towards Stalin is positive, then the fact of her appointment to the post of minister is a tragedy for Russia.
Why did the Jewish communities turn to Vasilyeva with this extraordinary demand? Why didn't the Chechen, Ingush or Tatar communities apply? Why didn't the Russians come forward with this demand? Where does such perseverance and inquisitiveness come from in the Jewish communities? Moreover, they address on behalf of the entire Jewish people. Are the entire Jewish people interested in Vasilyeva's attitude towards Stalin, or only certain groups of Moscow Jews? Is it possible that Jewish front-line soldiers, hung from head to toe with orders and medals of the battles they fought under the banner of Stalin, joined this demand? Are they joining this rather brazen attack?
What could I answer if I were in Vasilyeva's place.
In Stalin, I see a man who made tremendous efforts and, having defeated Himmler and Hitler, stopped the extermination of Jews all over the world, including Russian Jews. Stalin did not allow the crematorium ovens to blaze from Vitebsk to Vladivostok. I would also say that Stalin was the person whose zeal and efforts the state of Israel was organized. Then the age-old religious dream of the Jews about the restoration of their state came true. I think this is the undoubted merit of Stalin to the Jews. It seems to me that all Jews, both our Russians, and Israelis, and world Jewry, should at least twice a year - on the birthday and on the day of the death of Joseph Vissarionovich - come to his grave in the Kremlin wall and bring wreaths of thanks .
I see that with the appointment of Vasilyeva to the post of Minister of Education, her persecution began. Olga Yurievna is surrounded by rings of hatred, lies, defamation. And that campaign includes more and more new forces. These are bright liberal bloggers who do not skimp on insults. These are highbrow political scientists of the liberal wave. Entire newspapers and radio stations are involved in attacks on Vasilyeva. It seems that somewhere in the center, which controls the entire liberal environment of the world, a decision has been made to defame Vasilyeva. And all this only because it is in resonance with the new trends in Russian politics and ideology, when Westernism is squeezed out of the Russian consciousness, which for many years made Russian public opinion a toy in the hands of Western political sorcerers.
After the catastrophe of 1991, Russia painfully, with huge losses, returned to its traditional path of development. And in this regard, both historical vision and pedagogical education are key. Of fundamental importance are the nature of the history textbooks, which will be written not by the Soros, but by Russian historians and thinkers, and the course of literature, which will be dominated by Pushkin, Dostoevsky and Bunin. All this is extremely important for creating a new generation of Russians who are capable of building a full-fledged, powerful state out of today's, largely still ruined, failed Russia.
Therefore, I would advise Olga Yuryevna Vasilyeva not to respond to attacks that are heard from one or another community, but to do the colossal work for which the president called her. The support of patriotic intellectuals is on her side.

The support of patriotic intellectuals is on her side.
"Special thanks to Stalin." This quote is attributed to Vasilyeva and is mentioned in several collections of her quotes.
Vasilyeva said:
“Special thanks to Stalin” are the words of Novaya Gazeta journalist Ivan Zhilin, and not Olga Vasilyeva, namely, the subtitle of the report.
The Novaya Gazeta journalist quotes Vasilyeva, but takes it completely out of context and does not provide an explanation.
Today's understanding of Russian patriotism, according to Vasilyeva, was formed in the 18th century. "The ideal of a politician is, first of all, the king, who cares about the welfare of the fatherland."
Special thanks to Stalin.
On February 4, 1931, at the All-Union Conference of Industrial Workers, Iosif Vissarionovich uttered the words that were the beginning of the rehabilitation of Russian history: “In the past, we could not have a fatherland. But now that we have overthrown capitalism, and we have the power of the people, we have a fatherland, and we will defend its independence.”
In such a form cut off from the context, it turns out that Vasilyeva praised the tsar and Stalin for their patriotism. And now let's look at the full text (it's amazing that in three days no one has yet deciphered this lecture in its entirety). Vasilyeva talks about the concept of “patriotism” in Russia, its first appearance, that the peak came in the 19th century. And then she says that both the concept of patriotism and Russian history itself were deleted from the life of the country from 1917 to 1934:
It is said:
“The 17th year of the twentieth century is coming - one of the most tragic periods in the history of our state and very important for understanding patriotism and its role in the history of the 20th century. What are the Bolsheviks doing at once? The Bolsheviks reject all the history that existed before 1717.
Trotsky was preparing a world revolution and a campaign against India, Lenin was preparing a campaign against Western Europe, and Lunacharsky, our people's commissar of the Enlightenment, already in November 1918 gathered the teachers who taught history and said his wonderful thesis, which became a white thread, a terrible thread of Russian history on over two decades - the speech "On the teaching of national history in Soviet schools", in which he said: "Teaching history, thirsty find good role models in past examples , should be discarded."
The people's commissar had plenty of arguments, I will give the most important one: "damned national school in Germany, where the Germans most skillfully set up their teaching of "patriotism" ... a world slaughter became possible.
And the famous Pokrovsky school started working. In general, it is difficult to imagine that before 1934 inclusive, from 1917 to 1934, the word patriotism completely disappeared from use, the public consciousness did not use this word, this concept was closed. And it is hard to imagine that from 1917 to 1934 there was no teaching of history in universities, all faculties were closed: St. Petersburg, Leningrad, then Moscow University, and National history questioned the word Russia, "patriotism" and Russian history as such.
I will give a very clear example. 1931, the sixth volume of Malaya Soviet Encyclopedia. I open the sixth volume with the letter "P", patriotism, I quote: "Patriotism is a biological concept." The quote speaks for itself: "Patriotism is a biological feeling, it is inherent even in a cat." The rage of the Pokrovsky school was so great that in January 1929 the Pokrovsky school and the academician himself declared the unacceptability of the concept of "Russian history" officially. Why am I talking about this? Because decades will pass, and in 1991 everything will repeat itself, but more on that later. What are the historians of the Pokrovsky school doing? They abolish the name Patriotic War of 1812.
Militsa Vasilievna Nechkina - it was in Soviet time the only female academician who studied the Decembrists, and I was lucky to study with her as a graduate student. She went even further, further than her teacher. “There was no upsurge,” she quotes, “there was no patriotism in 1812. Armed with anything, the peasants defended only their property. She offers the heroes of 1812: Kutuzov, Bagration, Ataman Platov - they should not deserve the good memory of the people. Further more. In 1932, the People's Commissariat of Education made a fateful decision to remove the monument to Nikolai Raevsky from the Borodino field, because it has no artistic and historical significance.
By the way, in the same years, at the end of the 1920s, Russian classical literature of the 19th century was subjected to defamation. Why? For greatness. The decision of the Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks of September 5, 1931 for historians of the whole country, including me, is a milestone. Why? Because it was on this day that history was restored in its rights. The dictatorship of the Pokrovsky school slowly began to decline, although all schoolchildren throughout the country studied for another two years from a textbook, according to short course stories.
But the most turning point is February 4, 1931, it was then that the concept of patriotism returned to the public consciousness. What happened on February 4, 1931? There was an All-Union Conference of Socialist Industry Workers. Stalin speaks there, and in his speech he pronounces a thesis that becomes decisive for many decades: “In the past, we could not have a Fatherland,” I quote Stalin, “but now that we have overthrown capitalism, and we have people’s power, we have is the Fatherland, and we will defend its independence.” It is the understanding of the Fatherland and the understanding of patriotism, its rehabilitation, this is 1931, that returns the Fatherland as a synonym for pre-revolutionary Russia.
And in this full context, it is clear that there is no gratitude to Stalin, but there is a story about the process of rejecting Russian history at an early stage of Soviet history and the rehabilitation of history by Stalin - a fact is stated, and no apology is given.
The number of those repressed under Stalin is greatly exaggerated
“The number of those repressed under Stalin is greatly exaggerated” - the headline is given by the Vedomosti newspaper and is perceived as a quote from Vasilyeva.
What Vasilyeva herself said:
Vasilyeva did not utter such a phrase, but said that more accurate information on the number of repressed people was always available from the doctors of historical sciences Zemskov and Ivanova (works of the 1990s - early 2000s).
Here is a literal transcript of Vasilyeva's words:
“I am often asked: “If we count the number of repressed people that Korotich gave us in Ogonyok, it is not clear who in the country remained to live and work at all.” So I want to say that there are two historians - one - the late Zemskov and Galina Ivanovna Ivanova, who work on losses that are trusted by the historical community, both ours and colleagues abroad "
Historian Galina Ulyanova explained to Pravmir the essence of the discussion: “We are talking about the fact that in the early 1990s, during the second wave of the de-Stalinization of public consciousness, an exaggerated idea, not based on calculations, developed about the number of victims of Stalinist repressions. This was due to the fact that until the end of the 1980s, the statistical data of the OGPU-NKVD-MGB-MVD concerning the number of GULAG prisoners and special settlers were strictly classified.
The question of the number of victims is still debatable (very laborious identification and processing of documents), while some figures were broadcast by the country's leadership in different periods, some by historians who were not immediately admitted to the archives.
The question of Stalin's cannibalism is an axiom, and, as far as it is presented in serious literature, the negative social and moral consequences of repressions have not been questioned all the time since the 20th Congress (1956).
Proceedings of the largest researcher V.N. Zemskov, for example, begin with the words “ Human life priceless. Killing innocent people cannot be justified - be it one person or millions. But the researcher cannot confine himself to a moral assessment of historical events and phenomena.” After 1990, the Memorial Society made a huge contribution to the study of repressions, where very serious historians work, processing huge archives (and this work continues). If you are interested in how quantitative estimates of the size of repressions fluctuated, you can read.
Stalin, with all his shortcomings, is a public good
“At a closed lecture on patriotism for members of the United Russia party, Olga Vasilyeva said that “Stalin, for all his shortcomings, is a state good, because on the eve of the war he took up the unity of the nation, revived the heroes of pre-revolutionary Russia and began to promote the Russian language and literature, which by and large account and allowed to win the war.
What Vasilyeva herself said
The original source, the Kommersant report, does not quote Vasilyeva, but retells the opinion of one of the forum listeners:
« According to one of the listeners, in this lecture she made it clear that Stalin, with all his shortcomings, is a public good, because on the eve of the war he took up the unity of the nation, revived the heroes of pre-revolutionary Russia and began to promote the Russian language and literature, which, by and large, made it possible to win the war.

If you study the history of the Church, you are not a scientist!
Olga Vasilyeva has always been known in the widest circles as an excellent historian, and especially a historian of the Church. Her name is one of the leading names in the history of the Church of the 20th century; she wrote many scientific works, monographs and articles. By the way, the Department of Church History is one of the strongest departments of the history department of Moscow State University. However, judging by the reaction of bloggers, now any discipline connected in one way or another with the Church has no right to be scientific – be it the history of the Church or the history of religions, the analysis of the language of preaching or the study of the Church Slavonic language. About theology - a very respected and important scientific discipline in most European universities - it is inconvenient to talk about. Here is an illustration:
Must-deity
This is no longer about Stalin, but it is too vivid an example to pass by. This case is bound to enter the textbooks of journalism - it shows well how emotional bias can create new words, on the basis of which whole complex structures. The whole day of the appointment, netizens were horrified that for Vasilyeva a new stage in her life is divinity. Entire concepts were built of how now talk about religion and Orthodoxy would absorb the entire ministry and “priests would not be expelled from schools”, and then it turned out that Vasilyeva did not say “deity”, but “should”, but a correspondent wound up with a discussion of religion minister, heard something completely different from what was said and did not ask again.
Here is the story from the first mouth, from the KP correspondent Roman Golovanov himself:
Yesterday, Komsomolskaya Pravda published my operational interview with the new Minister of Education, Olga Vasilyeva. The conversation was recorded using a voice recorder built into the phone. Deciphering the answer to the question “How did you find out about your appointment? What emotions did you experience? due to the quality of the connection, I misrepresented her words. Instead of “must” (the necessity of what must happen), he indicated “deity”. Hedged by the comment of an expert who explained possible meaning term, the text was sent to print.
According to the results
We see how tendentious, sloppy and unprofessional the most authoritative media work with quotations and primary sources. We then see how these misquotes and phrases taken out of context come to social networks and shape our perception of the situation. I would like to wish both colleagues and readers to double-check the quotes as accurately as possible, and to the Minister of Education - calm work and a fair assessment of cases.
