Vladimir Putin plans to brainwash Russian pupils with his own twisted version of the war in Ukraine.
And the President’s propaganda blitz comes as millions face freezing to death this winter as a result of his strikes on vital energy infrastructure.
History books and curricula will now cover the Kremlin’s “special military operation” – and sources claim Kyiv and the West will be portrayed as having provoked the conflict.
Exams on the subject for pupils aged 17 and 18 start on December 11. Russian Federal Education Service head Anzor Muzaev said: “After altering the curriculum it was necessary to change assignments and history textbooks.”
It comes amid warnings of rolling blackouts in Ukraine as temperatures dip below freezing. President Volodymyr Zelensky claims over half of the nation’s energy facilities have been blitzed.
The World Health Organisation says millions face a “life-threatening” winter and Kyiv is evacuating people from the Kherson and Mykolaiv areas.
Sergey Kovalenko, of energy firm DTEK Yasno, said blackouts will last “until at least the end of March”.
It comes after Moscow's commanders have secretly moved almost 100 air defence missiles from Belarus to Russia sparking fears of a bigger escalation in Ukraine including whether Vladimir Putin would use a dirty nuke bomb.
Air-freighting scores of S-300 and S-400s is either a precaution against a retaliation from Ukraine for Russia’s recent blitz - or a sign of a much bigger atrocity yet to come.
One Russia expert told the Mirror: “Whatever Russia has in mind to inflict on Ukraine the Kremlin appears to be expecting retaliation on its own soil from Ukraine or the West.
“Analysts believe with these missile moves done so rapidly, just prior to this week’s massive bombardments, the two are interconnected.
“But more ominously they may indicate that worse may yet be to come and they are preparing for a big reaction to this activity.

“There has been talk of a dirty bomb.”
