Not unusual to teach and preserve the cultural heritage in school.

The cultural heritage of losing all your males in wars?

Yep! Soon, they will be sent to the front to freeze and die for glorious Putin the Mad!

History doesn’t repeat itself but it sure does rhyme.

Wasn't there already a standard of learning about rifles in Russian schools? I've seen a few videos like this https://youtu.be/LrxjYfl05ek?si=P-lKovi4bag_YJGG where they're field stripping AK74s .

Hitler youth like programmes, getting deeper and deeper into Nazism.

Kinda get the feeling their education will be mostly OJT.

Hopefully the kids will be smart enough to surrender. Sending them to their deaths is definitely a new low for Putin... Ukrainian defenders forced to open fire on invaders who are children is pretty fucked, too.

I wondered how long it would be before we saw child soldiers out of ruzzia. :-(
