— It is important to know your history; the lessons of the past allow you to sensibly assess the present and make plans for the future. In addition, knowledge of our own history helps us understand events taking place in the world, and instills in us love and respect for our Motherland, – noted Marina Aksenova, Head of the Main Department of Education.
