AMERICANIZATION OF RUSSIAN GEOMETRIC EDUCATION AND DESCRIPTIVE GEOMETRY
Abstract and keywords
Abstract (English):
70 years ago, the bloodiest of wars had ended. Literally, the next day the USA started the ruthless Cold war against the USSR. Goal – to destroy the USSR as political and military enemy. Ironically, it was the Russian Empire (and the Soviet Union – its successor) that first in the world recognized the USA as an independent state. In 1991, the goal was achieved. Russia considered the cold war over, and the USA a partner in all matters. In vain. It is no secret the CIA felt home in Russian governmental buildings. It is no secret that Department of State advisers sat in every Russian Ministry. Unsurprisingly, imposed reforms have led to destruction of industry, agriculture, and medicine. The country was flooded with imports, and Russia has lost the basic security of state. Obviously, the same benefactors from the CIA forced the Ministry of Education and Science to adopt the surrogate instead of the Soviet system of education. Moreover, the well-wishers perfectly knew that this surrogate was of very low quality. Introduction of the American system of education instead of the Soviet one is the manifestation of the cold war. Artificial confrontation of computer graphics vs. descriptive geometry arose. Enforced antagonism resulted in elimination of teaching descriptive geometry in many areas. Known: computers and computer graphics come from the USA. Note that geometry experts do not oppose to the use of computer graphics. More obscure is the position of some of our partners, when they advocate destruction of science in favor of a drawing instrument. In this mortal combat of geeks, the author sees a manifestation of the same cold war that the United States maintains with Russia. Deduction: it is so because computer graphics took all its geometric methods of constructing from descriptive geometry. Minimal program of overcoming this geometric crisis in higher education is provided.

Keywords:
pedagogy, descriptive geometry, computer graphics, engineering graphics, training quality, Cold war.

1. Сначала немного истории

Известно, что история совершенно ничему не учит, но тем не менее… Попробуем определить, с чего все началось, и отыскать колыбель американизации всего российского образования, в частности образования геометрического, и что случилось в этом плане с начертательной геометрией.

Ровно 70 лет назад закончилась самая кровавая из войн, затронувшая каждую семью, проживающую в то время в Советском Союзе – Великая Отечественная война. Но недолго пришлось радоваться победе.

Не секрет, что буквально на следующий же день после окончания этой прóклятой всеми жителями СССР войны североамериканская страна под названием США начала против Советского Союза безжалостную холодную войну. Целью этой войны было уничтожить Советский Союз как политического и военного противника для того, чтобы воцарилось всемирное господство только одной-единственной империи – США. Сейчас многие политики и политологи считают, что США и Англия три года – с 1941 по 1944 – ждали, когда Германия и СССР уничтожат друг друга, поэтому, прикидываясь союзниками, не открывали второй фронт. А вот когда уяснили для себя, что СССР и без их помощи уничтожит фашизм – тогда и только тогда им потребовалось урвать кусок пирога изо рта уже почти почившего нацизма.
