The program typically divides the 10th-grade year into specific historical blocks:
: From the reforms of Peter I through the Golden Age of the 19th century.
: While political history remains central, the curriculum places significant weight on daily life, cultural shifts, and the "human" side of history.
: Unlike traditional Soviet-era models that focused on learning material "by heart," this program encourages students to analyze cause-and-effect relationships and engage with historical debates.
: A major portion of the 10th-grade program focuses on the 18th and 19th centuries—crucial periods of modernization under Peter the Great and the subsequent reforms and revolutions. Structure and Content
