On March 24-25, 2022, a conference will be held «Russia in the 21st century: education as an important civilizational institution for the development and formation of Russian cultural and historical identity». This conference is held in continuation of the discussion of the general scientific problem «Russia in the XXI I century: global challenges, risks and solutions», launched at the scientific forum held by the RAS Commission for the Study of the Scientific Heritage of Outstanding Scientists (2019), XXVIII and the XXIX Mosaic Readings (2020 and 2021) (See: <TAG1>buran-sas.en/).

During the discussions and in the scientific and practical recommendations of the mentioned forums, alarming trends were noted in Russian education: rejection of the best experience and traditions of domestic education, incl. Soviet period and blind imitation of Western standards; excessive administration and violation of the principle of autonomy of scientific and pedagogical activities; overload of teaching work to the detriment of scientific and educational activities, humiliatingly low remuneration of teaching work.

At the XXIX Moses Readings – the International Scientific and Practical Conference «Russia in the 21st Century: The Great Patriotic War and Historical Memory» (2021) also pointed out the inadequate response of the domestic education system to global trends in distorting and revising the results of the Second World War and the post-war world order.

      <TAG1>why does the nomenclature of scientific specialties in which academic degrees are awarded in our country not meet the objectives of forming a modern scientific picture of the world?
