A terrible tragedy occurred in Bryansk. The girl opened fire on her classmates and then committed suicide. Shootings in educational institutions occur with terrifying frequency. Over the past five years, 12 cases have occurred, five of which resulted in the death of schoolchildren and students. But what is most frightening is the lack of response from the education system.

Moreover, educational institutions in Russia are increasingly filled with weapons. It has already become common to conduct lessons on assembling and disassembling the machine. Schoolchildren are taught to shoot from various types of firearms literally from elementary school. Courage lessons, where children are introduced to military equipment, are even conducted at home. And men who returned from the war practice combat skills with schoolchildren.

“Weapons are not a source of increased danger, but your friend and a working tool” — military instructors walk around educational institutions with such posters.

Schools and kindergartens are literally filled with war, weapons and violence. Instead of teaching kindness and peaceful conflict resolution, aggressive and militarized behavior patterns are imposed on children. Guns are increasingly associated with problem solving and control.
