Liudmyla Pidkuimukha analyses Russian school textbooks published in 2023 as ideological tools aligned with state curricula. Drawing on Apple and Christian-Smith’s (1991, p. 2) view that textbooks reflect political, economic, and cultural agendas, she examines selected textbooks in Russian language, literature, and history. Using Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), which suggests that texts inherently carry ideological biases (Weiss & Wodak, 2003), her study identifies how these materials shape perceptions in accordance with state policy. Her analysis reveals themes such as militarisation, the revival of Soviet nostalgia, the glorification of the Russian Empire, and the portrayal of Russia as a powerful nation. Additionally, the textbooks emphasise the significance of Russian language and culture, levelling the languages of the republics. Quotes from Russian political figures, namely Vladimir Putin and Patriarch Kirill, politicise the textbooks. Thus, the findings illustrate how these textbooks are designed to instil a specific national ideology in students.
