militarization of children in russia has reached unprecedented levels. The latest data from russian government reports indicate that the number of children studying in so-called cadet classes has increased almost fourfold in recent years, reaching 780,000 in 2025.<\/p>\n
War veterans are increasingly involved in brainwashing children. On average, there are approximately 250 meetings between war veterans and schoolchildren in russian schools and occupied territories every day (over 45,000 per year). It is also known that more than 18,000 military museums and exhibitions have been established in educational institutions.<\/p>\n
Through the state organization “dvizhenie pervikh” (movement of the first), the kremlin already controls over 11.7 million teenagers – more than half of all young people in russia. At the same time, the former formal patriotism has now been replaced by a cult of war, the “Z” symbol, and the cultivation of hatred towards other nations.<\/p>\n
Such attention to the younger generation is a direct proof that the kremlin is preparing for a protracted war. The russian dictator views today’s children not as the future of the country, but solely as a potential mobilization resource.<\/p>\n
Previously, the Center also reported that the kremlin is massively funding military camps for teenagers, which prepare children to participate in combat operations under the guise of “summer rest”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
