The first textbook for the new subject, called The Russian Army in Defence of the Fatherland, has been produced by leading Russian education publisher Enlightenment. Among its authors are two senior figures who work for the defence ministry and Kremlin newspaper Rossiiskaya Gazeta.

Its 368 pages are filled with stories describing the “heroic achievements of Russian soldiers” from the 13th Century to the present day.

    Thanks. It was not obvious. I wonder how well the distinction is appreciated by the target young audience? I know that the young seem to simplify their use of language.

      It probably isn’t, if anything the instructor might have to explain why it says fatherland and not motherland in the first place.
