Abstract
This publication is devoted to the problems of history teaching in the Soviet school in the 1920s-1930s. The article presents the main conclusions and provisions that characterize the change in government policy regarding historical science in general, and the teaching of school history course, in particular. It was shown the evolution of state policy, which resulted in the fact that the government refused of the experiments of the 1920s in the 1930s. All this eventually led to the nationalization of historical science. Of all the variety of directions that existed in the late 19 - early 20th century, the government chose and turned Marxist direction into the only one that had the right to life and the right to be considered truly scientific. When writing the article, we used the system-structural approach, dialectical, general historical and logical methods, which allowed revealing the essential features of history teaching in the Soviet school. Consideration of the problem both at the all-Union level and at the regional level made it possible to identify the general and particular, the difficulties and contradictions in the adaptation of historical narrative for the purposes of teaching in the secondary school. Practical application of this publication is aimed at focusing attention of the professional community of historians and educators on the achievements of Russian historical thought, the integrated application of particular developments and recommendations developed by the Soviet historians and teachers.

Summary
The status of historical knowledge is very high in the public consciousness of almost any state. In the modern Russian school, the process of reviewing the content of historical education continues - this requires new approaches to the creation of textbooks, programs, methodological developments that most fully reflect the achievements of historical science and pedagogical thought. In this regard, there is the question of to what extent the modern system of school history education is adequate to the tasks faced by it in Russia. The large-scale modernization of such an important sphere of public life as education is one of the most urgent tasks. The school reform, which was carried out within the framework of the Bolshevik project of "Cultural Revolution", helped lay the foundations of the educational system and established the educational standards of the Soviet school for decades
