Abstract
The article has found that education in the Russian Federation is one of the powerful tools of propaganda, along with religion and the media sphere, aimed at educating citizens of the Russian Federation, forming a sense of patriotism, love for the motherland, respect for their people, loyalty to their country, pride of their motherland, heroism of their ancestors, respect for state symbols.However, when V. Putin came to power, history was gradually turned into a component of propaganda both inside the country and in information wars against other countries. This became especially noticeable after taking a course to implement the idea of reviving a new empire in the post-Soviet space (the so-called concept of “Russkiy mir” (“Russian world”).Material about wars is present in textbooks and reference manuals. Actually, it has informative and developmental potential, and is also widely used in the military-and-patriotic education of children and for propaganda purposes. The purpose of the article is to highlight and characterize the peculiarities of the methodology of studying the history of wars in schools of the Russian Federation at the current stage.The content of textbooks in History of the Russian Federation as the main source of ideologically biased information and consistently considering the territories of the modern Ukrainian state and a number of other post-Soviet countries as actually historical Russian lands was characterized. With the help of textbooks in History and educational-and-methodological literature, history teachers actively implement the necessary narratives that justify the aggressive foreign policy of the Russian Federation and educate “ideologically correct” young people who must continue the aggressive course of development of their country.Forms and methods of influencing pupils at the traditional and non-standard lessons, using active and interactive methods, were determined. The possibilities of lessons-disputes, the use of pedagogical technologies (modular, project, game, etc.) were shown.It has been found that three foundations on which Russia has built its education are implemented today: love for the “big motherland”, President V. Putin, and gratitude to the grandfathers who brought victory in the Second World War.
 Keywords: historical education; history of Russia; history of the Great Patriotic War; textbook; history teacher; military-and-patriotic education; narratives; methods; techniques and means of teaching history.
