The Kremlin wants Russians to get used to war. Daniil Ken, head of the independent trade union Alliance of Teachers, said this on the air of the FREEDOM TV channel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cThrough the forcible involvement of children in support of the war, direct actions, the collection of humanitarian aid, emotional involvement &#8211; when they teach you to march or throw a dummy grenade, assemble and disassemble a machine gun for ideological lessons that while you are throwing a grenade in the schoolyard, dads, elders brothers, comrades, graduates of past years are already throwing real grenades, defending their homeland &#8211; they are simply making war the norm of life in Russian society, \u201dsaid the guest on the air.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>He also noted that in addition to the forms of propaganda approved by the Kremlin, there are also grassroots initiatives that school leaders are introducing in an attempt to curry favor. This is exactly what happened in Nizhny Novgorod, where first-graders &#8211; girls and boys &#8211; were given military uniforms on the eve of September 1, and after the indignation of their parents, they played back: they say, this is not for the ruler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cThere is already the zeal of local performers who, often understanding the political order, do not feel the reality and people&#8217;s attitude to it. It is clear that these are not errors, but a system thing, \u201dadded Ken.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The head of the independent trade union &#8220;Alliance of Teachers&#8221; also commented on &#8220;Conversations about the Important&#8221;, which is another element of propaganda in Russian schools, stressing that they are part of an extracurricular program, students have the right to attend them freely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cVery often people do not know about it, parents do not know. Principals and teachers are mistaken, thinking that this is part of the program \u2026 We recommend parents to write applications for refusing these lessons so that the school, in case of disagreement, resolves conflicts with parents, and does not put pressure on children, \u201dsaid Daniel Ken, adding, that in the past academic year, this practice justified itself.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Read also:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/uatv.ua\/en\/turmoil-in-the-kremlin-the-conflict-between-the-russian-ministry-of-defense-and-the-fsb-is-intensifying\/\">Turmoil in the Kremlin: the conflict between the Russian Ministry of Defense and the FSB is intensifying<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aggressive militaristic propaganda, including in schools, is designed to make war a &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":31,"featured_media":770523,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[49,36415,36422],"tags":[76],"sources":[],"class_list":["post-770522","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-en","category-11473-news-en","category-11473-news-en-3","tag-glavnoe-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>The Kremlin makes war the norm of life in Russian society, - opinion - Freedom<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/uatv.ua\/en\/the-kremlin-makes-war-the-norm-of-life-in-russian-society-opinion\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"The Kremlin makes war the norm of life in Russian society, - opinion - Freedom\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Aggressive militaristic propaganda, including in schools, is designed to make war a ...\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/uatv.ua\/en\/the-kremlin-makes-war-the-norm-of-life-in-russian-society-opinion\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Freedom\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2023-09-02T11:22:00+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/uatv.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/3640.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"690\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"398\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Danylo Shportilo\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Danylo Shportilo\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/uatv.ua\/en\/the-kremlin-makes-war-the-norm-of-life-in-russian-society-opinion\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/uatv.ua\/en\/the-kremlin-makes-war-the-norm-of-life-in-russian-society-opinion\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Danylo Shportilo\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/uatv.ua\/en\/#\/schema\/person\/f4fe8d6d08deebcdee69f6671576d2d2\"},\"headline\":\"The Kremlin makes war the norm of life in Russian society, &#8211;
