ABSTRACT
The history of Russia, as of that of any other country in the world, is closely connected with the history of its culture and education. Thus, the periods of development of Russian education will (indeed, must) mirror the periods of its history. These periods are:
1. The end of the tenth century to the beginning of the seventeenth-the period of the development of the Russian state, characterized by the openness of its culture and education towards Western and Eastern cultures.
