REVIVAL OF RUSSIAN EDUCATION AS A PRIORITY FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF HUMAN CAPITAL
The article examines the current state of the system of Russian education as a result of economic and political reforms of the post-Soviet period. The task is to analyze the results of educational reforms in the 1990s and 2000s in comparison with the system of Soviet education. The author uses comparative-historical and system-functional methods, with the help of which the distinctive features of the Soviet education system are revealed, such as compulsory, continuous, accessible, systematic, state quality control. System-structural and inductive methods allow the author to reveal the inhuman character of Russian education reforms in the post-Soviet period. Elimination of the state's monopoly on education, the diversity of education and the variability of education, the emergence of non-profit educational organizations led to increasing social differentiation, unequal opportunities for education, and the elimination of the educational component in education. Particular attention is paid to the modern teaching of history, which deforms the historical and national consciousness and does not contribute to the formation of a citizen and a patriot. It is concluded that the development of human and social capital in modern Russia is possible only on the basis of the revival of the best domestic traditions of education.
