Russian authorities force schoolchildren to listen to propaganda instead of school bell
Before February 23, when Russia celebrates “Defender of the Fatherland Day,” Russian schools will replace the sound of a school bell with songs by Kremlin-approved musicians.
▪️ This event, featuring upbeat patriotic songs about “Russian officers,” the “motherland,” and the tricolor, is part of a broader Kremlin campaign to indoctrinate and militarize Russian children.
This year, the campaign is escalating as part of the celebrations for the 80th anniversary of the “Great Victory” and the “Year of the Defender of the Fatherland.” Its goal is to instill hatred and prepare children for future wars of aggression.
