100 books for schoolchildren
100 books for schoolchildren (Russian: 100 книг для школьников, romanized: sto knig dlya shkolnyikov) is the list of books for extracurricular reading by schoolchildren[1] recommended by the Russian Ministry of Education and Science, published in 2013.[2]
The list was initiated by Vladimir Putin's "Russia: The National Question" (Россия: национальный вопрос) published in Nezavisimaya Gazeta in 2012.[3][4]
The list was discussed for a week in 2012 at various online and print literary and cultural media of the Russian Federation, including the Public Council of the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation.[2] The reception of the idea of the list and the list itself was mixed.[4]
Elena Nizienko of the Ministry clarified that it does not include the books included into the school curriculum. Noting that usually the official documents are perceived as directive, she clarified that it a recommended, rather than an obligatory reading list. She also noted that the list will be periodically updated[5]
The 100 books encompass 139 individual works.
