Even the recent history, which as far as I can remember, is falsified very deeply. For example, it is alleged that in October 1993 there was some kind of “clash between the branches of power,” while in fact, the former president, dismissed from office due to malfeasance by a decision of the Constitutional Court, carried out a coup against the legitimate president with the support of officers who had betrayed the Motherland , parliament and the Constitutional Court, that is, he committed a putsch with the aim of destroying the state of Russia and replacing it with the state of the Russian Federation.

Although any lawyer, having familiarized himself with the documents, will no doubt explain to you this state of affairs, a version of a clash of branches of power, The communist putsch and the fight against barkashes appears in all textbooks and will continue to appear, since the regime is mortally interested in concealing the fact of its illegitimacy.

The history of the USSR in the 70s-80s is even more falsified. There are tales about some empty shelves and sausage trains (the realities of the Gorbachev deficit times are overturned in the Brezhnev era), about the persecution of dissidents (although under Brezhnev there were fewer political prisoners throughout the USSR than now in the Russian Federation alone and much less than in the USA) and etc. It is difficult to call tales about the Stalinist era or the revolution a distortion of history because they no longer have anything in common with reality. In addition, specific interests play a role.
