Why did children war? How in Voronezh schools they accustom to militarism and manipulate the memory of the Second World War

May 22

History lessons - as a way of manipulation

In the post of school number 11 named after A.S. Pushkin shows how high school students show films about the crimes of the Nazis during the Great Patriotic War and ... in the 21st century. The message is terrifying:

The Armed Forces, in fact, do the same thing as the Nazis did in the 1940s: they destroy children, women and the elderly, beat in residential buildings

Thus, the students are inspired by the false historical equality between Nazism and the modern actions of the Ukrainian army, which is not only unreliable, but also forms in children the idea of ​​the current conflict as a “sacred war”, the continuation of the Great Patriotic War

Walking is building the spirit of the barracks

In the photo there are teenagers in military uniform, walking in the system as recruits. For them, this is a game and competition. In fact - the substitution of education and discipline by the cult of militarism

And in another post of the same school-some mentor from the Military-Patriotic Center is conducting a first aid master class. Everything that happens is accompanied by a rhetoric inherent in army gatherings, and not the educational process

Fronts for the front: instead of the world - front -line life

School No. 51 reported on the results of the action “Together we are power”, in the framework of which they raised 237 thousand rubles for the needs of the soldier. In the photo there are boxes, disguised fighters and a list of “donors”: students, parents, teachers.

We express our gratitude to each of you ... for the contribution to the fundraising for our soldiers

In fact, children and their families are imposed on participation in financing the war. This raises serious ethical questions: how acceptable it is to involve schoolchildren and their families in such “promotions”? And if this is a family of pacifists, do they have the opportunity to refuse?

Camouflage from six years old

The sports school No. 22 boasts of how six -year -old children from kindergarten No. 140 participate in the “lessons with the champion” in the form imitating the military. Children are fighting on the grass in the park, depicting a “fight” with machine guns in their hands. The post is filed as an innocent congratulation on Victory Day.

This is not just aesthetics of the military, but a real militarization of childhood. Когда малыши в камуфляже дерутся в кадре — это не воспитание, это подготовка к восприятию войны как нормы

"Stabilization point" in the school museum

School No. 55 introduced the new exposition of the Swan School Museum. A whole hospital has been recreated, supposedly “on the Sudzhansky Ring” (Kursk region, August 2024)

The whole “military corner” is gathering right in the educational institution, shells and military uniforms become part of the educational environment. This is not a story, it is an ideological exposition

Do not forget to give birth

In the 81st school, they wrote less about the war, but they consider it important to remind the children that the government firmly and clearly protects them from the declension to abortion. After all, if suddenly your husband died in the war, then the homeland urgently needs a new person who needs to be given and educated. The leadership of school No. 81 believe that all students from 7 to 16 years old should know about this

Ideology instead of education

Every year propaganda in schools of the Voronezh region is becoming more frank. The war is normalized, and the memory of the Second World War is used for political purposes. Schoolchildren are not shown alternative points of view, but one - state, militaristic, selectively historical

That is how in a country where there is no censorship according to the Constitution, it actually works everywhere, even within the walls of schools. And this is very dangerous, because children are like sponge: they believe and absorb everything that adults tell them, only they do not receive knowledge and critical thinking from them, but attitudes.
