On the first day of the new school year, the Kremlin steps up the militarization of Russian education, aimed at shaping a new generation for war.
Speaking to children on the first day of Russia’s school year, President Vladimir Putin on Friday waxed nostalgically about the Soviet era, when “we lived in one single country” and were “absolutely invincible,” as Moscow imposed several new measures to shape a new generation for war.“I realized why we won the Great Patriotic War,” he told students, using the Russian name for World War II. “It was impossible to defeat such a nation with such a spirit. We were absolutely invincible.
New history textbooks reflecting Moscow’s views were introduced Friday to students in 10th and 11th grades. At a primary school in Nizhny Novgorod school, first-graders were ordered to wear military uniforms for their first day . Parents at some schools were advised forgo the traditional bouquet of flowers for the teacher in favor of cash to support the war effort.
But fact that 46 percent of children in the Zaporizhzhia region or their parents decided they would study Ukrainian as their native language, according to RIA Novosti, suggested that many identify as Ukrainians, despite the pressure exerted by Russian-appointed local authorities. If the parents who chose Ukrainian for their children were closer to the fighting, he said, all of them would have chosen Russian. “And so everything is logical. We have to win.”
