Russia Day in Educational Institutions
Despite the summer holidays, children continue to be involved in military propaganda. "Patriotic" events are held in school camps, kindergartens, and extracurricular institutions. Russia Day was no exception.
In the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, the first patriotic camp opened. Children aged 14 to 17 from all over Yamal are being taught military training. Participants are promised extra points for university admission.
In Ivanovo Oblast, children with a box resembling a ballot box were sent to the central square to collect money and humanitarian aid for "the guys in the special operation zone."
In Novosibirsk Oblast, a concert was held on the grounds of the "Music and Aesthetic Center." Schoolchildren in balaclavas waved rifles from the stage and lit flares.
"The future of the state is shaped by the younger generation, which adopts the glorious traditions of its people!" wrote the aesthetic center on social media.
In Bashkortostan, children were arranged to spell out the word "Russia" with their bodies, as reported by the "Idel.Realii" channel.
In Penza Oblast, at a school camp, children were divided into teams and made to assemble the proverb: "A Russian is one who loves and serves Russia."
In Krasnodar Krai, youth army members (Yunarmiya) were dressed in t-shirts with the portrait of a soldier who died in Ukraine.
The usual "activities" for children were also present: assembling and disassembling rifles in Kemerovo Oblast, unveiling a memorial plaque for a soldier who died in Ukraine in Dagestan, writing letters to soldiers in Tomsk Oblast, weaving camouflage nets in Buryatia, and operating drones in Altai Krai.
