Media: Putin wants to make "ultra -rationalist patriots" from the youth
The Russian authorities are trying to instill in young people hatred to the West and ultrapatriotic values, but in reality they only disconnect a new generation. The Washington Post (WP) newspaper tells what methods Vladimir Putin comes to to make society convenient for his goals.
Propaganda is trying to inspire young Russians with the idea that the West hates them, said a former official who was once close to the Kremlin. According to him, the ideal Russian in modern realities should be “performatically patriotic”: this means that it is necessary to support the war against Ukraine, believe in God and live in accordance with traditional values.

The ideology that the Kremlin is trying to inspire the young generation consists of “ultra -rationalist patriotism” and Orthodox Christian values, writes WP. An important role in it is played by the United States - this is a country that supposedly wants to destroy Russia. Russia, however, seems to be a victim that actually strives for the world.
“It is obvious that“ belonging ”now means acting in a certain way, in a very clear context“ we and they ”<...> this implies to be ethnic Russians. Or play the role of ethnic Russian. Be natural. Be an Orthodox Christian. And to accept this message of militarism, ”explains the British historian and author of the book about the pro -Russian youth organizations“ Generation Z ”Jan Garner.
As a result, now young people in Russia are divided into castes, journalists write. The first caste are conformists who adapt to the ideology of the state for the sake of career prospects or success. Another caste is avoiding. These are young people who are not interested in politics and try not to interact with state institutions. The rest of the youth WP calls the “outcasts”. Among these are Yegor Balazyukin, who was serving a six -year term for throwing Molotov cocktails into the military enlistment offices as a protest against the war, the newspaper writes. At the time of his arrest, he was 16 years old.

Tatyana Balazyukina, Yegor’s mother, told how her son came to protest activities in Russia. His uncle was an experienced officer, he voluntarily went to war against Ukraine and died. The death of his uncle, according to Balazyukina, became for Yegor a “bell”: a young man was disappointed in myths about the “great military machine of Russia”.
