Gotta start early with the Putin Youth
They had for years. Look up Nashi.
The special operation is starting to get multi generational. "3 days to Kyiv"
Did they specify the days were sequential?
In and out, what could go wrong?
Not unusual to teach and preserve the cultural heritage in school.
The cultural heritage of losing all your males in wars?
Yep! Soon, they will be sent to the front to freeze and die for glorious Putin the Mad!
History doesn’t repeat itself but it sure does rhyme.
Wasn't there already a standard of learning about rifles in Russian schools? I've seen a few videos like this https://youtu.be/LrxjYfl05ek?si=P-lKovi4bag_YJGG where they're field stripping AK74s .

I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.
Hitler youth like programmes, getting deeper and deeper into Nazism.
I wondered how long it would be before we saw child soldiers out of ruzzia. :-(
They already do this in Ukraine, fwiw
They have since before this conflict too https://apnews.com/article/880ff094ac3a4e699e95f7b45b6dd5e6 (bonus points for seeing how AP talked about Azov pre-2021)
Kinda get the feeling their education will be mostly OJT.
Hopefully the kids will be smart enough to surrender. Sending them to their deaths is definitely a new low for Putin... Ukrainian defenders forced to open fire on invaders who are children is pretty fucked, too.
A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
