Abstract
The author carries out a historical-pedagogical analysis of the general and special educational systems within the scope of the changing paradigm in the period of formation of inclusive education both in Russian and international educational communities. The concept of periodization of the evolution of the public attitude towards the needs of handicapped people, elaborated by N. N. Malafeev, Professor of Russian Academy of Sciences, is at the heart of the analysis. There have been examined some prerequisites for the rapprochement between general and special educational systems as a tendency toward formation of inclusive education at the present stage of the society development.
