In short, Russia’s children are being prepared for war.
Education Minister Sergei Kravtsov said recently that there are now about 10,000 so-called “military-patriotic” clubs in Russian schools and colleges, and a quarter-of-a-million people take part in their work.
There are mandatory classes on military-patriotic values; updated history books accentuate Russian military triumphs.
President Putin has personally led the campaign to inject patriotism into Russia’s schools.
That message - hammered home by the president and state media - is now being taken into Russia’s schools.
