Camus, Goethe, Jane Austen and more: what works will replace the Russian literature removed from the school curriculum

The colonial heritage, which is often based on the postulate of “little man's patience”, will be replaced by world classics.

Schoolchildren will no longer have to study any of Krylov's fables or Pushkin's poetry: against the background of the Ministry of Culture's intention to remove Russian literature from library collections , a similar decision was made regarding the school curriculum. In addition to Russian writers, the works of Belarusian writers will also disappear, writes the specialized publication Tiktor.

Colonial heritage (its literary critics describe it as cultural expansion), which is often based on the postulate of “little man's patience”, will be replaced by world classics:

  • Sixth-graders will get acquainted with the genre of fables adventure and science fiction with Charles Dickens, Jules Verne and Robert Stevenson…
  • Seventh-graders will read a novel about the Holocaust, John Boyne's The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, instead of Vasily Bykov's Belarusian Alpine Ballad (about escaping from a concentration camp and wandering the Alps by an Italian woman and a Soviet prisoner of war). Or Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt's “Children of Noah” to choose from.
  • Instead of Pushkin's poetry, children will now read Adam Mickiewicz, Wolfgang Goethe, Heinrich Heine.
  • Ninth-graders will miss a whole block of Russian literature previously planned for study. It will be replaced by works such as Jane Austen's Dignity and Pride, Victor Hugo's Notre Dame de Paris, Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre, or Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness.
  • Tenth-graders will not study Alchemist Paulo Coelho for his statements in support of Russian policy and its military component in particular. Instead, the novel “The Master and Margarita” by Kyiv-based Ukrainophobe Mikhail Bulgakov was confiscated.
