After the outbreak of a full-scale war against Ukraine, the Russian authorities are systematically turning military training into a mandatory part of the school curriculum. In 2023, military training was built into the life safety course, and from 2024, not only tenth-graders, but also eighth-graders are taken to them. ❗️The publication “That's So” published an investigation into how Russia is building a system of compulsory military training for schoolchildren and how much money is spent on it.
