A History of Education in Modern Russia is the first book to trace
the significance of education in Russia from Peter the Great's
reign all the way through to Vladimir Putin and the present day.
Individual chapters open with an overview of the political, social,
diplomatic and cultural environment of the period in order to
orient the reader. Dowler then goes on to analyse the aims of
education initiatives in each era before considering the ways in
which Russians experienced education, both as students and as
teachers. Each chapter concludes with an assessment of the outcomes
and consequences of education policies in the period, both the
successes and failures as well as the impact of education on the
cultural, social, economic and ultimately political environments.
The chronologically arranged book also traces and then summarises
underlying key themes like the tension between an open system of
education and an estate-based system; the push and pull between
utility and the broader goal of human development; and the effects
of centralized, authoritarian control that for much of the period
limited local initiative and starved the regions of adequate
resources.
