Russia: “patriotic clubs”, training camps for children, are increasing – (Franceinfo)
“Patriotic clubs” for children are becoming more and more numerous in Russia. They are encouraged by power. Young people learn “love of the homeland” but also, in the form of games, combat tactics.
In Russia, there are more and more “patriotic clubs” for children. Their weapons are toys, but everything is very serious. These clubs are encouraged by those in power. Facing the children this time are real Russian soldiers on leave. Enough to give ideas to a 14 year old.
Nobody ever questions the offensive in Ukraine
Parents find nothing to complain about, quite the contrary. “They need that in life. Whether there are fights or not, it’s important to be a man, to defend your homeland, your loved ones”, says Anna Spirina, mother of a participant in the patriotic club for four years. In this openly pro-Putin Russia, no one ever questions the Russian offensive in Ukraine. The comments of the members of the patriotic club exactly repeat the official Kremlin narrative.
