Propaganda plays a key role in non-democratic societies that do not allow individualism, that are hostile to ideas and values of humanity, that have to live in their closed world according to the strict rules of militarism. That is why the external enemy, which seriously threatens the foundations of this wonderful society, which is undoubtedly Russia, is fundamentally important. Militarism is part of its identity, it exists without the need for cohesion, and can only give the effects of wars, because such societies do not build, but mostly tear down.
This surgical cut of modern Russian society was made by security and diplomacy expert Ivan Anchev in the exhibition “Visible and Invisible: Counterpropaganda”. The event was the beginning of the school year, when a new program is studied in Russian schools – “Basics of security and defense of the fatherland”. year old to be trained in hand-to-hand combat and familiar with the use of small arms.
According to Ivan Anchev, the militarization of Russian education is an essential part of the struggle against state and directed individualism, which, according to the authorities, undermines traditional values in Russian society. Youth arms are part of this challenge. “Since Peter the Great, even since Ivan the Terrible, Russia has not lived in a democracy in the modern sense of the word, it has never passed through the stages of development of Western societies – the Enlightenment, the Reformation, the rise of spirituality. . There is no way that general humanitarian principles such as the importance of human life and individuality will suddenly appear in such a society,” the host is sure. According to him, education in Russia is very close to those in the Palestinian territories, where children in kindergarten are taught songs about how to compare Israel and their country. “The more Russian success in Ukraine is a problem, the stronger this patriotic pressure will be within society and in education, only preparing them for a bad outcome.”
The host also mentioned another patriotic, youth program called “The Rank of the Hero”. This is a school uniform with information, photo, biography on the heroic path of the worthy person to whom it is dedicated. “3,500 veterans of the so-called special military operations are personally involved in the patriotic education of the students. In communist Bulgaria, the pioneer units also had their supporters – either some of the parties, or the Yats who were de facto terrorists, fighting against the legitimate authority of the state. Russian society has not learned anything new and has not forgotten anything old from Soviet society. And now at least some of the criminal trainers have been released to fight in Ukraine. Returning from the front, they commit the same crimes for which they were previously imprisoned. But these are the new national heroes of Russia.”
In addition, Putin also has something like “Hitler Youth” – so-called. “Unarmy”. This is a very interesting organization with 1.6 million members and 89 regional management offices – that is, it has covered all regions of the Russian Federation and has completely penetrated the youngest part of Russian society. It “educates citizens and patriots”. A few days ago, a Russian tank officer who fought in Ukraine, Orlov, was named chairman of the movement.
“A new generation is currently being created in Russia, which still lives in slavery, I do not see a positive outlook for this country in the coming decades,” concluded Ivan Anchev.
