June 2011 – defended Higher Doctoral dissertation in history in the Russian State Social University: "Problems of objectivity in the coverage of Russian history from the second half of the 15th to 17th centuries".
The third thesis of 2011 has been widely debated in the Russian media and a large number of fragments have been shown to bear a significant resemblance to existing academic works, which caused numerous accusations of plagiarism.[9][10]
On 23 May 2014, the Dissernet community, an informal group of academics and journalists concerned with dissertation plagiarism, declared to have found plagiarism in two previous dissertations by Medinsky, of 1997[11] and 1999.[12] According to Dissernet's expertise, in the first thesis 87 pages out of 120 have been borrowed from the thesis of Medinsky's scientific advisor S. A. Proskurin. In the second thesis, 21 pages textually coincide with other people's works.[8][13]
On 3 October 2017 the top Russian academic council recommended revoking Medinsky's 2011 doctorate.[14] However, on 20 October 2017 a committee of a government agency that oversees the awarding of higher academic degrees ruled in the minister's favour by 16 to 6.[15]
Views
Vladimir Medinsky has been described as a "nationalist enamoured of classicism and traditional values".[16]
Medinsky believes that statues of Joseph Stalin should be erected in places where the majority of local people are in favour.[19]
In 2013, Medinsky's Culture Ministry proposed an updated cultural policy blueprint. Calling for "a rejection of the principles of tolerance and multiculturalism", it emphasizes Russian "traditional values" and cautions against "pseudo-art" that may be at variance with those values.[20]
In 2015, Medinsky called for the creation of a Russian "patriotic Internet" to combat Western ideas, adding that those who are against Russia are against the truth.[21]
In 2019, Medinsky called the Chernobyl series “masterfully made” and “filmed with great respect for ordinary people”.[22] Medinsky's father was one of the Chernobyl liquidators.[23]
In August 2023, a history textbook written by Medinsky claimed that the 1956 Hungarian Revolution was a fascist uprising organised by the West.[25] In response, Hungary's Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Péter Szijjártó said "labelling these people as fascists is simply unacceptable".[26]
