In the temporarily occupied territories of the Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson regions, Russia is implementing its own model of assimilation through the system of educational institutions, erasing Ukrainian identity and raising a generation loyal to the Kremlin. This is reported by the National Resistance Center of the SOF of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (NRC), according to UNN.
Details
It is noted that the next step was the statement by Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin regarding the need for the fastest possible "integration" of these regions into the Russian educational system.
Russia is completing the full "educational annexation" of the south and east of Ukraine. By 2026, Moscow plans to finally erase Ukrainian identity, replacing education with aggressive ideological brainwashing and the preparation of a future mobilization resource
It is indicated that the foundations of such "integration" are:
- militarization from childhood - instead of regular subjects, drones in labor classes, drill training, and "Basics of Defending the Motherland." Schoolchildren are forced to undergo 5-day training sessions at "Avangard" centers under the supervision of militants;
- ideological noose - the English language is being reduced, while "spirituality courses" from the ROC and mandatory Medinsky textbooks are being introduced. Every word of a teacher is monitored, and grades are given for "incorrect" behavior;
- diploma as a draft notice - according to the plan of Russian PM Mishustin, graduates in the TOT must be "immediately involved in labor." In fact, this is the preparation of personnel to work for the Russian military machine straight from the school desk.
"This is not education, but a systemic breaking of the psyche. Russia uses schools and universities to turn Ukrainian children into loyal executors of orders, deprived of their own history and culture," the NRC states.
Recall
In the TOT of the Kherson region, the invaders are intensifying the militarization of youth, planning to open cadet classes of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation in schools of the Henichesk, Chaplynka, and Novotroitske districts.
