Abstract. The article analyzes the change in ideas about the tasks of the academic discipline «History» in a modern university compared to the Soviet period, when the teaching of history was of a pronounced ideological nature. As noted in the article, currently the academic discipline “History” performs two tasks: the formation of historical memory and the education of patriotism. However, for a number of reasons, the potential of the discipline “History” was not fully realized for solving educational problems. The authors of the article show the possibilities of using the academic discipline «History» in the organization of educational work not only in extracurricular activities, but also during the educational process. The potential of the educational discipline history for spiritual and moral education and prevention of nationalism and religious extremism is analyzed. The authors come to the conclusion that the educational discipline “History” itself has a significant educational potential, for the use of which in educational process it is necessary to rework the plan of educational work and change the content of the basic course «History».

Keywords: history, education, patriotism, prevention of extremism and nationalism, spiritual and moral education.
