elections to the State Duma of the Russian Federation of the 8th convocation

Оценка исторических событий России в программах политических партий на выборах в Государственную Думу 8-го созыва

The author examines the mention, evaluation, and interpretation of historical events and personalities in the programs of political parties that put forward lists of their candidates for elections to the State Duma of the Russian Federation of the 8th convocation. As a result of the study, the author came to the conclusion that radical assessments of historical events, both positive and negative, are found only in isolated cases, which indicates the broad ideological boundaries of most parties.
