According to Russian Education Minister Sergei Kravtsov, these films will be shown to students starting in the sixth grade during the propagandistic "Conversations About Important Things" sessions and the course "Spiritual and Moral Culture of Russia."
The minister is convinced that such films will help instill "traditional values" in children and show them "role models"
The center notes that forcing children to watch films promoting war is part of the Kremlin's long-term strategy to militarize children. At the same time, Putin's regime seeks to shape adolescents' distorted perception of reality, in which an aggressive war is the norm, and participation in it is the right path in life.
