Address: 9, Mokhovaya str., 103073, Moscow, Russian Federation. Email: vulture@mail.ru Collision of M. Katkov’s and A. Shchapov’s ideas is seen as a fundamental conflictthat sheds light on what preceded destruction of the traditional Russian school. The contemporary Russian school embodies the almost sesquicentennial ideas of A. Shchapov and vigorous denial of the teaching principles of M. Katkov, the ideologue of the Russian gymnasium of the last years of its existence. AU - Aleksey Lyubzhin UR - https://archive_vo.hse.ru/en/2015--1/147134305.html PY - 2015 SP - 252-271 VL -
