Abstract: Abstract This chapter is devoted to the history of Russian mathematics education from Peter I to recent times. The discussion addresses issues pertaining to the organization and aims of education at different stages; what constituted the content of education during different periods; who implemented the teaching of this material; and how teachers were prepared. Russian mathematics education was fundamentally different (and continues to be so) from education in many other countries and came to serve as a model for many countries. This chapter attempts to describe the typical traits of the Russian system and understand how they took shape.
