Russia is now literally rewriting Ukrainian history.

Russian schools in the occupied territories will receive a new textbook titled “History of Our Land. Donbas and Novorossiya.”

The history of Ukraine’s Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson regions will now be taught as part of russian history.

The textbooks, approved by russia’s Ministry of Education, are expected to enter schools on September 1.

This is how russian occupation works.

First, they invade your land. Then they destroy your cities, kill and deport your people, erase your language and culture — and finally teach your children that their homeland was russian all along.

This is colonialism and forced russification.
