Putin gets own chapter in ‘official’ history book
The period from 2000, when Putin took over from Boris Yeltsin, until his election as president for a third-term in 2012, will form a separate section of the history textbook currently being prepared, the Izvestia daily said.
“After long consultation it was decided that the textbook should include the history of Russia up to the last presidential elections,” an official from the ministry of education told the daily.
