"Q: In your opinion, is it worth paying special attention to history in youth edu?
A: it's impossible to force someone to fall in love, be a patriot, learn history. Everything taught βunder pressureβ is perceived falsely. It should be taught by example. Show, tell, explain [...]
That's why I love the Victory Museum. For me, this is the main museum. Was, is and will be. Children, students & adults should come here. Here, it's necessary to hold lectures & history lessons. Your expositions very clearly show what is not always perceived on paper[...]
.. Here, in every metre & exhibit, there is the most important thing - emotions. They are different. There is pain, sympathy, empathy, & joy. A real story can be preserved & conveyed only in this way - through emotion, through a response."

Zanko, Duma deputy & leader of Victory Volunteers, talks abt patriotic (again)
She's a huge advocate for patriotic edu (though she doesn't like that phrasing) & historical preservation.
In interview w/ Vzglyadr, she talks abt educating youth w/ conscious patriotism.
Thread π§΅
One of the Q's I get asked abt, in relation to patriotic edu, is whether kids actively participate in it, or whether it's a box-ticking exercise to get high marks.
I think it's both. #Russia's comprehensive patriotic edu program targets youth from a young age, & edu discourses are shared in other domains.
But, we've also seen pics of kids standing in "z" formation & wearing GPW costumes - they mostly look oblivious to what they are doing.
It's been two months since the start of #Russia's 3-day "special military operation."
Here are some of π things I've learnt abt π·πΊ militarism, particularly around youth militarisation & π·πΊ's educative practices. (1/)
π·πΊ has long used it's education system to shape the minds of its younger generation.
The youth is targeted specifically, as potential army recruits, & as those will take forward these military-patriotic discourses into the future. (2/)
Really imp to π·πΊ gov that they instil the youth with a particular worldview.
In Russia, this worldview is that their country is vulnerable to outside hostile neighbours.
There are several elements involved, but I cover 3. (3/)

Vladimir stated: in WW1 " A competent poster raised patriotism & love for the motherland in people, & helped people to understand the difficult political situation."
He continues, stating that posters played a huge role in raising spirits during the GPW.
Vladimir notes: "A SMO has been going on in Ukraine for a month & a half, & not a single poster has appeared showing the imp. of the π·πΊ army's mission to liberate the π·πΊ population of Donbas, & there are no posters showing the savagery and cruelty of the new Ukrainian fascists."
Another 𧡠but necessary - *more* responsibility laid on #Russia's youth.
π·πΊ state continue to draw parallels between USSR's victory over Nazism in 1945 & today.
#Russia's youth warned of their struggle over #Nazism & the legacy they could have if they commit to the cause.
"Governor of Primorsky Krai, Oleg Kozhemyako, & Yunarmiya members made a "time capsule" with wishes of peace to future generations. The action was held in Vladivostok in the multimedia park 'Russia - My History.'" yunarmy.ru/press-center/nβ¦
This time capsule was made on the Day of United Actions (Apr. 19), which commemorated the genocide of the Soviet people by the Nazis & their allies during the GPW.
