ArmInfo. Having no own history, the national union, which is presently
called Azerbaijan by strange whim of Josif Stalin, has compensated
for this regrettable shortcoming by appropriating the neighbouring
states' history.
However, having noted this deplorable fact once again, let us present
the data of research by specialists of the Moscow State University
recently published in the "New Region - Moscow" edition. According
to the opinion of the Russian historians, who analyzed 187 history
textbooks, issued in the former 12 republics of the Soviet Union,
the history distortion scales amazed the authors of this project,
after which the historians came to the conclusion that the history
was treated objectively only in Armenia and Belarus, while the other
republics treat the history from a nationalistic position.
According to the research, almost all the new-sprung "historians"
assign earliest origin to their peoples, as well as a special
world-scale mission. Moreover, sometimes this sounds like an anecdote,
as in case of notorious Azerbaijan, the "historians" of which prompt
to the younger generation of Azerbaijanis about their relationship
even with Sumerians. Moreover, the authors of such textbooks also
"privatize" foreign territories, since they in Azerbaijan claim that
Armenia was founded in its territory.
"Study of the school history textbooks, issued in the post-Soviet
republics, give us a surprise. We knew that the textbooks contain
nationalistic interpretation of the history. The surprise was that
in many cases the nationalism turned out to be a cover for the real
ideology of these states' ruling elites", Assistant Professor of
the National History Department of MSU's Historical Faculty Andrey
Shadrin said when commenting on the results of research.
Apparently, the research by MSU specialists again confirmed
a well-known fact: having no own history, Azerbaijan "privatizes"
it from almost all its neighbours. The most sorrowful fact is that
the first place in this list is held by Armenia, from which the
adventurous descendants of Heydar Aliyev captured almost everything
expect for the alphabet, though who knows.
