Critics Say Negative References To Russia Omitted From Iranian Textbooks
Deputy head of the Islamic Republic's Organization for Educational Research and Planning (OERP) has denied that school text-books have been changed in the country to "curry favor with Moscow and exonerate it from the historical crimes the Russian Empire committed in Iran."
Speaking at an academic session on Sunday, February 16, Hassan Maleki insisted that a series of references to Russia in Iranian school-books were merely omitted to "decrease the volume" of the textbooks.
Furthermore, he dismissed the critics of the "omissions", describing them as suffering from pessimism and psychological problems.
Earlier, in a series of tweets, an expert in educational affairs, Adel Barkam, had disclosed that some of the topics related to Russia's historical crimes against Iran had been omitted from the second volume of the Persian textbook for the eleventh grade.
In the tweets published on February 2, Barkam circulated images of the book's pages and noted that not only some of the paragraphs related to Russia had been dropped, but some others had also been edited.
In the new version of the textbook, Barkam argued, the word "Russians" has replaced the term "Russian Army."
As another example, Barkam highlighted a paragraph in the older textbook that says, "Soon, the flag of Russians was raised over the soil soaked with the blood of innocent people."
The sentence in the new edition of the book was changed to, "Soon, the Russian Army conquered the region."
The obvious changes, all in favor of Russia have triggered a barrage of criticism in recent days in Iran.
The Islamic Republic officials have repeatedly tried to play down the changes, dismissing them as "minor amendments."
Ali Zou-Elm, the Director of the Iranian Organization for Educational Research and Planning, insisted on February 4, "Our fundamental view, about what has happened in history, is that Tsarist Russia's crimes could not be omitted (from the text-books). We also do not deny that the Eastern Bloc's style of interaction was hegemonic under the Soviet Union. We'll never omit them (from the text-books)."
Disregarding the obvious changes presented by the critics, the mid-ranking cleric has to friendly relations with Russia, maintaining, "The fact that the Russian Federation is currently working and interacting with Iran does not mean that a period of history could be ignored. We disapprove of manipulation of history."
Nevertheless, it is crystal clear that the Islamic Republic has started implementing a comprehensive plan to restructure its approach towards the educational text-books, critics say.
Late last January it was announced that the Islamic Republic was set to add "America's Crimes and Conspiracies" as a new topic to the curriculum of local schools and universities, according to a decision by parliament.
The new topic will be taught at universities from the next Iranian academic year, September 23, 2020, the General Manager of Higher Education Planning Department at the Islamic Republic Ministry of Science, Research and Technology (MSRT) announced on January 23.
Meanwhile, according to critics, many classic Persian masterpieces have been replaced by propaganda pieces in favor of the clergy-dominated establishment in Iran.

So what, they also get gas through the Ukraine, the point is that they have closed their nuke and coal fired electricty production capacity and will become reliant on gas... and they are letting the US sabotage their gas supplies from Russia...

Nobody Wants to Buy Russia’s National Plane – Except Russia’s National Airline
Russia's main home-grown passenger jet, the Sukhoi Superjet 100, conceived as a rival to Airbus, Bombardier and Embraer, has no confirmed orders this year beyond a long-standing deal with state carrier Aeroflot, two sources told Reuters.
The aircraft, which entered service in 2011 and was the first passenger jet built in Russia since the fall of the Soviet Union, has had a troubled history despite the state pouring billions of dollars into its development. Last year, a Superjet crash-landed in Moscow, killing 41 people.
Sukhoi Civil Aircraft, which is controlled by Russian state holding company Rostec, had hoped to sell hundreds. But slack demand and servicing problems and delays in sourcing spare parts, means only 142 of the planes are in use.
Aeroflot, which currently has 54 Superjets in its fleet, is expected to receive up to 17 more this year, Russia's Trade and Industry ministry told Reuters. The carrier signed a long-term contract in 2018 to lease 100 Superjets between 2019 and 2026.
But two sources familiar with the firm's plans told Reuters that Sukhoi currently has no other customers lined up for 2020.
The Superjet project "depends on a government decision about state support, because it does not yet work commercially," one of the two sources said.
The Superjet is predominantly operated inside Russia by regional airlines, corporations and government entities. It has had mixed success with foreign carriers.
Irish airline CityJet stopped operating its seven Superjets last year and Mexican Interjet said last year it planned to sell its 22 Superjets.
Sukhoi in a statement declined to disclose its portfolio of customers.
"The company is working to implement contracts in the interests of aircraft operators and customers, the principal one of which is Russian carrier Aeroflot," it said.
Asked whether they had any plans to purchase or lease Superjets this year, Russia's three biggest private airline companies — S7, UTair and Ural Airlines — said no.
Five other Russian airlines, who have Superjets in their fleets, did not respond to requests for comment.
IrAero, an airline based in Russia's Far East which has previously demanded compensation from Sukhoi citing the Superjet's poor technical performance, told Reuters there were problems using the planes and that the "contract terms are far from the most advantageous for users."
Sukhoi said last year it would sell 16 jets to customers. It missed that target however and delivered just eight planes in the end, five of which were leased to Aeroflot.
Aeroflot has so far leased five of the 100 Superjets it committed to in its 2018 contract with Sukhoi.
Those transactions were financed by Russian state development bank VEB. But the arrangement was made on an ad hoc basis and no decision has yet been taken on how the next 95 planes will be financed, a third source, employed by a company that works with Sukhoi, said.
VEB told Reuters it was considering financing future Superjet deliveries and was ready to finance deliveries for other buyers as well.
Aeroflot said it was unable to comment on commercial deals. Sukhoi Civil Aircraft declined to comment on more potential leasing arrangements with Aeroflot.

It seems America is working hard to hit Russia's economic interests whenever they get the chance, in this case, pressuring airline operators across the world to ditch Russian made planes. Russia needs to hit back and impose costs to America's economy as well. I dont see this happening.

Dude...the Superjet has a very bad renomme. It crashs regulary and also has the problem , that it has very high fail times. No other aircraft in its class has higher repair time.
https://www.zonebourse.com/actualite-bourse/Qui-veut-voler-sur-Superjet-100---30019422/
Just yesterday another one made an emergency landing in Moscow.
Airlines that had it, sold it all and switched to Airbus.
Airlines want make money and operate in a harsh business.
You dont make money with a plane that is constantly in repairs and has a bad renomee for crashing. Superjet has quality issues, thats Sukhois fault and nobody else.
It also uses more fuel than compareable models.
Only western airline that used them was CityJet. They leased them to Brussels Airlines. BrusselsAirlines was so unsatisfied with their performance , that they cancelled the contract and CityAirlines pushed all 7 machines back to Russia.
Even russian airlines like Yamal cancel their orders. Here is a number for you...50% of the superjets BrusselsAirlines used could not fly.
The mexican InterJet was so unhappy with Superjet, that they want switch to Airbus.

All of the crashes you mention were pilot mistakes
The problem with the mexican interjet is due to lack of spares availability and no money for repairs...
Normally when you buy or lease a western aircract you also buy the very expensive maintenance and overhaul support by airframer and engine makers...
The mistake there was not to prepare a good logistic and maintance center, and also accepting customers that had no money to pay for repair services.
They are going to correct most of these issues anyway...
And a last important thing... most of the problems with ssj100 not flying are due to lower reliability than advertised from the french part of the engine and also in addition the french are not producing enough parts and delivering them in time...

Not bullshit, simple fact. Superjet has a horrible low quality ranking. BrusselsAirlines showed that 50% of the aircrafts were not flight ready. Thats a simple fact. A fact that is also evident that no private russian airline wants buy this aircraft.
When you booked a flight with BrusselsAirlines and it was supposed to fly with SuperJet. You had a 50% chance that your flight gets cancelled. Now show me the airline that want take that?

Exactly my point, Western Airlines are under pressure to let go and avoid these planes so they have to make all the lousy excuse about how the plane is unreliable like what you are doing now.

Yes you do. look at Boeing 737.

I understand your narrative. When a western plane crash its the pilot's fault. but when a Russian plane crash its the manufacturer's fault. Got it.
It also uses more fuel than compareable models.
Indeed, according to this news article the airplane failed certification tests in 2010, and among the significant drawbacks that were found are increased weight and excessive fuel consumption. The article also mentioned that the plane's engines, the SaM146, was jointly developed with France's Snecma.
Should I have omitted the last part? As it will reveal that partnership with a French company has resulted to the plane's engine problems.

Im french. I give a shit about Boeing 737, which btw still has a better ranking than SuperJet.
That SuperJet have a very low flight readiness is a simple fact. No other current model has such a bad ratio.
The "pressure" how you call it, is called capitalism. No airline can afford to have an aircraft in its fleet with a 50% failure ratio.
And it cant be France fault. we also make the airbus engines and they work perfectly fine.
SaM146 problems occur in the so-called hot part of the engine, where fuel is burned. Cracks appear in the combustion chambers or oil collectors after 2000–4000 flight hours, and sometimes after 1000 flight hours.

Concerning superjet;

The hot part of SaM146 is Safran responsibility... so...
Anyway France doesn't do alone any aircraft engines except for some military jet (e.j for the rafale).. the last engine they tried alone (silvercrest for the business jet market ) was a big failure..

France still makes decent helicopter engines (for small to medium helicopters), though.
And no, no solely french engines on Airbus, almost all the new big widebodies have Rolls-Royce engines (except the a380 that can also mount a GE/pratt and withney engine as alternative to the Rolls-Royce Trent 900) while for the a320s the engines are either pratt&withney or CFM, that is only 50% French.
By the way, in the CFM engines, GE is responsible for the "hot part", the high-pressure compressor, combustor, and high-pressure turbine, so that's the reason why they work
