Russia, under the guise of “morality,” intensifies its propaganda of war among children
russian government is introducing a new mandatory school subject called “spiritual and moral culture of russia.”
In these classes, children will be required to study, among other things, the life stories of “special military operation heroes” to draw inspiration from their example.
▫️ russian officials claim the goal is to “shape a worldview based on traditional russian values,” and one of the course developers is metropolitan tikhon, a pro-kremlin propagandist and personal confessor of dictator vladimir putin.
The introduction of this subject is part of russia’s broader strategy to militarize education. Under the guise of vague “morality and spirituality,” russian authorities are building a system where children are constantly exposed to propaganda. kremlin’s aim is to raise a generation for whom war is normalized — one that blindly supports military aggression as a supposed expression of “higher morality.”
