Russia rewrites its history textbook again — this time adding Trump’s ‘positive role’ in peace talks and a reference to Anchorage

Russia's latest edition of its official history textbook for high school students includes a surprising twist: it now highlights the Trump administration's supposed "positive role" in peace talks regarding the conflict in Ukraine, despite the lack of substantial evidence for such claims. The textbook also includes a reference to Anchorage, which is a curious addition likely meant to flatter the U.S. by acknowledging the city's hosting of a major Russia-U.S. summit. This revision underscores how Russia continues to shape its historical narrative to align with its current political objectives, reflecting a broader effort to influence both domestic and international perceptions.
