Образ ребенка в учебнике для начальной школы
For sixty years, children's reading books were used as a tool to indoctrinate school students with behavior patterns reproducing "Soviet man". It would be naive to expect these books to disappear from the classroom overnight, and twenty years after Perestroika, with its momentous overhaul of "old" textbooks, the Soviet anthropological model, with some cosmetic modifications, still claims a dominant role. The article takes a close look at the post-Soviet primary school reading-book and scrutinizes the way literary texts are being used to instill perceptions about the main areas of social interaction (family, home, city, countryside, homeland, and foreign land), about the child/student personality, and what behavior patterns are being presented as model behavior - all while primary school students are mastering their mother tongue.
