In 🇷🇺Russia, 9th-grade history textbook covers will feature a painting showing 🇬🇧British officers tying 🇮🇳Indians to cannon muzzles during the suppression of the Rebellion in 1857 (Kommersant) «The Suppression of the Indian Rebellion by the British» — the first painting by Russian artist Vasily Vereshchagin in his "Trilogy of Executions" "The message of the cover is not just 'look at how cruel they are'. It's an attempt to show the intrinsic qualitative difference between the Russian Empire and the British colonial empire. <...> Here we have the British 'burden of the white man' — in contrast to our desire to live in peace with our neighbors." — executive sec for state history books Vladislav Kononov said
