Letter to the Editor: As we are busy debating Putin’s military tactics or questioning the state of the Russian military, we fail to see that Putin’s real weapon is the Russian people.
A Russian soldier stands guard on April 11, 2022, in Volnovakha in the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic. The picture was taken during a trip organized by the Russian military.
The daily life of Soviet children was infused with a narrative of war — of past and present threat. It was pervasive in children’s literature. No person who grew up in the Soviet Union could forget Malchish Kibalchish, the fictional character in Arkady Gaidar’s 1933 children’s book “The Tale of the Military Secret, Boy Malchish Kibalchish and His Firm Word.” In the story, Malchish helps the Red Army fight the bourgeoisie during the Russian Civil War.
It is questionable whether Zoya’s story is true, considering it was a tool of Soviet propaganda, but she was a real person. Manufactured personas, revered as heroes, were ones that unquestioningly put the “motherland” above all else. These children’s stories helped build a foundation of blind trust. As a parent of two young children born in the U.S., I hope to instill in them that heroism is about truth that can come to light only through questioning.
