Z dala od frontu. Wielka wojna ojczyźniana w edukacji historycznej poradzieckich republik Azji Centralnej (casus Kazachstanu, Kirgistanu i Uzbekistanu)

Abstract

This article contains a comparative analysis of the narratives concerning the Great Patriotic War that can be found in textbooks in the post-Soviet republics of Central Asia. The aim of the study is to show the similarities and differences between these narratives and to reveal to what degree the picture of the conflict that was shaped during the Soviet period has been revised. At the same time, the aim is to juxtapose the contents of Central Asian textbooks with the narrative present in the Russian history education system. The analysis aims not only to identify discrepancies, but also to identify the reasons for the existing state of affairs and relate them to the politics of memory pursued in individual countries.
