The program “Orlates of Russia”, as the site “Movement of the First”, “developed as part of the implementation of the federal project“ Patriotic education of citizens of the Russian Federation ”of the national project“ Education ”in order to satisfy the needs of younger students in social activity and is aimed at developing and maintaining interest in educational and extracurricular activities, at the formation of socially significant qualities of students, key basic values: homeland, team, family, family, family, family, family, family Health, nature, knowledge. "
Enter the program with whole classes. The desires of children and parents are not required for this:
First, the teacher is registered in the program, he submits a request for participation and loads the consent to the processing of personal data. After that, children and parents are already registered in the program (their participation is also provided). Each participant has his own personal account.
The “eagles” have seven so -called tracks, that is, areas of activity: the keeper of history, erudite, master, ecologist, leader, athlete and volunteer. Methodological developments are ready for each of the tracks, children under the guidance of the teacher pass these tracks and receive the relevant titles: the eagle-leader, eagle-sport, and so on.
On December 5, at a meeting of the supervisory board of the Russian movement of children and youth, Sergei Kravtsov said :
“It is very important that in our project“ Orlates of Russia ”, the guys take part in the whole class. They are accompanied by an elementary school teacher, education adviser, a high school student, and already from an elementary school we see how teams are formed in a good sense of charged, initiative, fond of schoolchildren. Today, and we have this project three years, 100 thousand school teams, and this is more than 2.5 million children from all regions. We suggest, dear Vladimir Vladimirovich, to scale this project for preschool age. ”
How exactly it is necessary to scale the project, Sergei Kravtsov did not specify, except that “experts, methodologists, and scientists” believe that “events“ orlyat ”should be held in kindergartens. According to Senator Lyubov Glebova, the president replied to this: "As he was born, it is necessary to start."
It would seem that there is nothing special in this initiative: all the same return to the pedagogical practices of the Soviet Union, this time - by October. In the end, nothing particularly bad is expelled from the vague depths of memory: well, stars with curly Ilyich wore, well, they created “October Stars”-someone commander, someone was a orderly, someone a florist, someone a librarian. Who is the fifth - I don’t remember. The orderly wears a handbag with a cross on his side and checks with everyone whether his hands are washed. The librarian watches whether the textbooks are wrapped. The flower breeder is watering flowers in the class. I don’t remember anything else. Unless you can find the rules of October (if you google, you can find that they are approved by the entire Bureau of the Komsomol Central Committee in 1967; I see how the whole bureau will enthusiastically rhyme: “Only those who love labor are called October”). "October - future pioneers." This is the only ideological postulate in these rules. All the rest are ordinary requirements to be good kids:
“October - diligent guys, love school, respect the elders.
Only those who love labor are called October.
October - truthful and brave, dexterous and skillful.
October - friendly guys, read and draw, play and sing, live cheerfully. ”
I also remember that pioneer chefs came to us (now they are called “mentors”) with some ventures, and we harassed them-we chased them all over the school and squealed with vile voices: chef-chef, tell a fairy tale!

It seems that there was nothing more special in this October life, well, perhaps the poems for all the holidays were taught: there was such a form - “installation”, when children take turns reading a fragment from a whole poem. Songs sang. But also some kind of children: "... this is true, well, what is there to hide, children are very, very much like to draw." All these "eaglets, eaglet, take off above the sun" and "cruiser Aurora" - this is only later, in pioneering childhood.
But so that there was some ideological education in kindergarten (except for drawings and poems for the holiday)-I certainly do not remember this. The maximum-some clumsy tanks on the card by Pope by February 23. Not right now.
“Do you dream of becoming a hero? To believe good deeds and worthy deeds? Do not waste time in vain! There is a solution! And it is closer than it seems ... ” - the site" Orlit of Russia "immediately encourages. The child may dream of becoming a teacher of a kindergarten or a driver of metro trains, he doesn’t want to make anything yet, but he will not go anywhere: they will organize a cell in a kindergarten - it will have to be: when the country orders to be a hero, there are no exceptions for kindergartens.
Eagles also have their own rules. But nothing is said that they live cheerfully. The main rule of the eagles is "Orlyats are proud of their homeland." Each rule has an explanation:
“This means: respect the past, keep the historical heritage of their fatherland, know the history of their country, native land and state symbols of Russia, appreciate and protect their native land, its wealth, to be faithful to its country, to be ready to protect it.”
He called himself Orlenk - climb into the trench.
The following Orlit rules are something between the October Rules, which are still allowed a little peaceful childhood, and the laws of pioneers of the Soviet Union. If anyone forgot, the laws were like that:
The pioneer is devoted to the homeland, party, communism.
The pioneer is preparing to become a Komsomol member.
The pioneer is equal to the heroes of struggle and labor.
The pioneer honors the memory of the dead fighters and is preparing to become a defender of the Fatherland.
Pioneer is the best in study, work and sports.
The pioneer is disciplined.
But the rules of the eagles (short version, without explanation):
Orlates are proud of their homeland.
Orlates together, together and together do good deeds.
Orlates respect the elders and take care of the younger ones.
Orlates always strive to learn new things.
Orlyans keep the word.
“They read and draw, play and sing, live cheerfully” - this is the pampering not for the current eaglets. True, to sing them is still allowed. But it’s not just to sing all sorts of nonsense, but in the “Orlit circle” - putting hands on each other on the shoulders and swaying, and only if you know the words ( so directly written in the “Orlit traditions”:
“Orlates ... respectfully and carefully treat the song, know the authors of music and words, do not shout each other during joint performance and do not begin to sing if they do not know words”).
Eagles also has a tradition of initiation (it is difficult to say where all these traditions come from, if these eagles themselves without a year a week). Well, let's say, the “Orlit circle” is clear from where: from the Orlenok camp, from Soviet pioneer camps, district pioneering headquarters, she sang in this in the early eighties: “... it’s great that we all gathered here today.” But it was such late Soviet romance for senior pioneers, and not this kind of kindergarten, patriotism on a tattered knee. Yes, and he sunk somewhere in the fly along with the bend of the yellow guitar, commissars in dusty helmets and other brigantines. But now all these traditions were carefully taken out of dusty chests, poured holes that were molean, inscribed instead of communism and internationalism patriotism and traditional values, shook off and handed the children: proud!
The initiation ceremony is also a “tradition”, probably originating in the reception ceremony in pioneers.
"The initiation ceremony symbolizes the unity of the Big Orlyat family, the value of each member of the Orlyat team, taking responsibility for themselves, for friends, for their class."
There is a link to the "Methodological video instruction on the organization of the reception ceremony in the Russian eaglet" - there - there - there
Children in sweatshirts with Orlit symbolism stand and silently applaud when they are in construction of their teachers in the same sweatshirts, when they are represented by guests - candidates of pedagogical sciences, heads of regional departments and so on.;
When these guests keep speech, the children are not interesting at all, in the spirit of conventional foresaw appeals.
Further - the removal of the flag of Russia with a banner group;
Then the element of the interactive: the large panel of the flag is pulled through the children's rows, everyone can touch;
Following - poems about the flag of Russia, the anthem of Russia and the rise of the flag of Russia ...
The leading ceremonies read the rules of the eagles and say: “If you adopt the laws, you repeat with us: I am an eagle, we are eaglet!” Children repeat this several times, applying a hand to the chest in the words "I am an eaglet." This replaces the oath and signature.
Then the children are built in Orlit circles and handed each icon (round white, 50 rubles a piece on the “ozone”) and an eagle certificate - with the name, surname, as well as symbols of Russia: flag, coat of arms and anthem.
In general, if we consider this ceremony as an initiation, it looks like a dedication in Russian citizens, and not in some kind of Orlyasian fraternity (the brotherhood is rarely mandatory and is headed by teachers).

Finally-specifically for those interested in where these eaglets came from with their laws and traditions,-the “legend of the eagles” was invented , and it is included in the typical scenario of the ceremony: they say, the children lived, they wanted to travel, but around-the rivers-Bueraka, that is, it is difficult. Then they turned to the wise eagle: "" Teach us to fly just as high and free. " “Do not be afraid of difficulties,” the eagle answered. - Dare, try and help each other! " So the children went to travel, returned to the wise and began to be called Orlits.
And after all, none of those who invent, writes, pronounces in front of the children to the microphone this pompous nonsense, who listens to her, who replicates - no one will do at least Feippalm (not to mention the Sappuku).
In some regions, teachers decided to radically shake the old people and remembered the multiple "swear" from some popular pioneering or Komsomol congresses and lifes. On the nationwide teacher’s resource, infourk.ru can even find such a dedication scenario in the “eagles of Russia” (I quote the very end, you can enjoy the link in full text):
*Each: both the leader and erudite
He will make his contribution, and the class will win!
We swear!*
*Feel the necessary for society,
To become the most friendly as a result!
We swear! We swear! We swear!*
And if only someone would tell these teachers that you should not accustom children to empty and meaningless oaths (I swear to feel necessary for society? We swear to become the most friendly? Compared to whom?), That Christ did not tell you to swear (Matthew, 5: 34–37): “But let your word:“ Yes, yes, ”; "no no"; And what is beyond that, then from the evil one. ”
Here's another option for the oath:
“I, __________, entering the friendly ranks of the eagles of Russia, I promise to be active, bold, initiative. Honor and observe the laws of eagles. There is always an example for other guys and be one with their class! ”
This is a typical oath, it can be found on many school and regional resources with reports on the massive reception of junior students in the "eaglet" (for example, here ).
Please do not hang in an attempt to comprehend the promise "to be one with your class."
Some lucky ones at the ceremony wear ties in the colors of the flag of Russia and handed branded bags for shoes.
In the “Movement of the First”, the fact that every step and every sneeze in the framework of the movement should be documented, removed and laid out into school social networks with appropriate hashtags. From there it is easy to find out how fun today is the October-Orlat of their extracurricular leisure.
Here they, for example, in the workshop of Santa Claus collect sweet gifts to soldiers, write letters to them, send parcels .
Here they have a cool watch for the Day of the Heroes of the Fatherland: someone is telling about the battle of Moscow , someone makes excursions to the “Hero's desk” , but they will definitely say to everyone that “they are not born by heroes, they are becoming through difficult trials and showing incredible courage and selflessness in the most difficult hour, forgetting about themselves in the name of the homeland.” This wording is found in many reports, so it is probably taken from a common manual.
It is generally very convenient for teachers to push their class into “eagles”: all plans for extracurricular activities are ready, take it and use it. Teachers are not naughty. The program website has reviews of teachers, they directly say :
“For teachers, the program has been designed in a lesson and does not require significant time for time when it is conducted”;
“For the teacher, the Orlyate of Russia program is just a treasure! Stunning methodological materials, pedagogical finds, numerous techniques ... ”;
“And for me as a class teacher it is important that there is a program with full methodological support (developed class notes, webinars, courses) and a clearly built system of work for the entire period of elementary school” ...
No, of course, the eaglets, like all normal junkies, study Khokhloma painting, paint gingerbread, go with excursions to production, glue paper flashlights, write letters to Santa Claus and make cotton snowmen, but before they did all this inorganized, and now within the framework of the Master track. Previously, the fifth graders came up with quizzes, but now this is called “mentoring”, and quizzes and contests “are carried out as part of the implementation of the Erudit track”. And, apparently, in the framework of the “Volunteer” track, the baby collects dog food for shelters (and not just blankets for the participants of Sv). However, the degree of voluntary participation of the children themselves, and not parental money is very unclear here.
It seems to be good that the state has finally paid attention to children's leisure, how desperately children of meaningful activity (extracurricular after all, and not extracurricular, but at least so). It seems to be good that the state proposed, although tied to school, but a versatile, methodically worked out and at the same time free development program for children.
What is wrong here? Only the fact that all this is for eagles. For those who swore, put a tie around his neck, hung an icon on his chest and promised certainly to sacrifice his life in the future for his homeland.
Only then will the Motherland hand you gingerbread for painting and colored paper for making a flashlight on a Christmas tree. But the Christmas tree, too, will not be just a Christmas or New Year tree-it will be a “Christmas tree of the first”, “trench Christmas tree” , some other deeply patriotic Christmas tree with the fulfillment of the desires of children from “new territories”.
It would be naive to think that now, until the “eagles of Russia” burst into kindergartens, all this does not concern preschoolers. It concerns exactly the same as schoolchildren, except that they do not yet give oaths. But they make postcards for soldiers in the same way (they have not yet learned to write letters yet), they are explained to them in the same way that “the hero is the one who has committed a feat, showing personal courage, persistence, and readiness for self -sacrifice. Heroes are not born, they become, which means that everyone has the opportunity to become a hero of Russia in the future! ”
In kindergartens, in the same way there is a compulsory calendar of educational work , in which the day of the Heroes of the Fatherland, the Day of the Flag of Russia, the Day of the Coat of Hem of Russia, the day of solidarity in the fight against terrorism, and the day of reunification of Crimea with the Fatherland, and even the day of memory of the official duties of employees of the internal affairs bodies of Russia are present in the same way in schools.
What will the "eaglets of Russia" add to this? Educators will receive manuals and some bonuses for the implementation of the project of patriotic education. Children will receive the same classes, only in profile, plus there will be several extra hours on solemn rulers, in which they will not understand a word, but will only be scared to clap their hands with motionless faces.
They will receive “branded merch” - ties, badges, blue bags for shift. They will take an oath.
And whether they will understand what they swear in, to whom they swear is not so important. On occasion, it will be possible to recall: you, they say, gave an oath - respect the elders and protect your homeland. Very convenient and in the educational sense: swore? - That's not rude to Marivanne.
And in practical: you can register at the military registration and enlistment office immediately from birth, as noble undergrowths were recorded in regiments. And then - a hero. You dreamed of “becoming a hero, to perform good deeds and noble deeds”? Then - here.
