1. I researched the transition of the history education in Russia. And, I indicated that "education by which the subjecthood of students was valued" had been conducted from the end of the Revolution to the beginning of 30's. The aim of the Russian education changed greatly from "person who constructs the communism society" to "individual who is able to actualize oneself in the competitive society of market economy" after the collapse of the Soviet Union.

In the future, the common idea on the history will be gradually formed, confirming historical events together. Less
