kremlin is actively using Russian Orthodox Church to militarize schoolchildren
Not only so-called veterans of the “self-defense forces”, but also priests of russian orthodox church are involved in war propaganda among russian children.
In the sverdlovsk region, in a Sunday school of one of the churches, children were given lessons with the participation of russian counterintelligence military personnel. In addition to propaganda narratives, children were taught the basics of handling automatic weapons, grenade launchers, knives, and were shown other military equipment.
After the start of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, kremlin has been systematically implementing war propaganda and militarization in school and extracurricular education. Priests of the russian orthodox church are actively involved in this process.
Propaganda indoctrination and military training are gradually becoming a main direction in the russian education system, as its main goal now is to prepare a reserve of personnel for the russian army.
