Another day in the news

It's getting so that each day another news story about Putin appears. This time it's about his desire to have new history books written. The current Russian history books are too negative because, in Putin's view, the authors received grants from foreign countries. The new histories will likely be based on "The Modern History of Russia: 1945-2006", a handbook for teachers which was written by a team of writers only one of whom was an historian.
