“This textbook will not be created from scratch, but on the basis of those textbooks that already exist, but taking into account the historical events that took place this year: the start of a special military operation, the entry into Russia of the Luhansk and Donetsk People's Republics, Zaporozhye and Kherson regions, unprecedented sanctions pressure.
These facts will be reflected in the new textbook," TASS quoted him as saying.
He also noted that by the end of January - beginning of February, "some first drafts of such a textbook" would appear.
Earlier, Kravtsov said that Vladimir Medinsky, an aide to the Russian president, would head a working group to create a new school history textbook.
