Militarization of Russian children in numbers

The modern Russian state considers children its property. It doesn't just interfere in their education and upbringing but literally recruits schoolchildren into the army. The Russian education system aims to instill in children the perception that serving in the Russian Armed Forces and participating in combat actions are the only correct ways to show love for their homeland.

And this is not just isolated cases of militarization in individual schools. The Russian state invests tens of billions of rubles in "patriotic" education, organizes centers for military training of teenagers, and involves children in upbringing led by war participants without any pedagogical education.
