Abstract

The article analyzes textbooks and curricula for grades 5–11 on “Russian literature” for secondary schools of the Republic of Belarus and examines the peculiarities of reflecting subjects on the history of Russia in them. The presence of the best examples of Russian fiction of various eras in the Belarusian school curriculum allows the student to learn more deeply about the Russian past, which ultimately contributes to mutual understanding and interaction between the two Belarusian and Russian cultures. The conclusion is made about the considerable attention of developers to the presence of Russian historical topics in educational materials. However, as part of the further development of the Belarusian-Russian cooperation in the educational sphere, it is proposed to include a separate academic discipline “Belarusian Literature” in the curriculum of the secondary school of the Russian Federation or to include topics on Belarusian literature in the same amount of academic hours as in the Republic of Belarus.
