The global changes taking place before our eyes today are challenging the national education system in new ways. Especially affected are school social studies programmes, designed to ensure schoolchildren grow up to be good citizens of the Russian Federation. New federal state educational standards and programmes provide for changes to the content of social studies at school for up to three years – from 9th to 11th grades. The crux of the new programme is the absolute necessity of sovereignty if Russian society and every Russian family and individual are to develop and prosper. Why did the social studies programme need to be updated? What are there risks involved in replacing a 6-year programme with a 3-year programme? How will the new programme and state textbooks guide students to a correct understanding of legal culture and consciousness, rights and duties, and respect for generally accepted social norms and moral values? How are the primacy of national interests and the importance of the legal principles enshrined in the Constitution of the Russian Federation covered? What does the new social studies programme look like?
