      That’s cruel and wrong on so many levels. Children should play and grow, not be involved with guns or anything related to the military.

    2. So warped , the kids might think this is cool to play solder but deep down those elders getting them to do this are just trying to train the next generation of cannon fodder

      This is intense. Military training at 8 years old blurs the line between patriotism and indoctrination

      Training 8-year-olds for combat doesn’t build strength and it’s long-term psychological conditioning. Mostly, it steals childhood!

      We have learned how to throw grenades at the 12th grade (so usually 16-18 years old) , so twice as old. There were curriculum named “pre-conscription training for young men”, but without supervision of active soldiers or some real army-style training.

      30% of whole curriculum was rather some quick course into how assemble/disassemble AK, throwing grenades, how to properly wear [ozk ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OZK)and gas mask, few times there were shooting with bb gun at firing range/basement, some not even basic first aid (I learned more from volunteers 15 years later, than in school) and sometime there were drills for those who wanted (with goosestepping, again it was like 15+ years ago), other 70% of time we did nothing just sit there and chat, sleep, do homework, occasionally we were taken to help with cleaning up of school territory (yay, free workforce).

      What a perfect specimen /s

      Yep, this clearly is a sign of a country longing for a lasting peace.

      This maybe more than anything should show the intentions of Russia. A country looking forward twoards peace shouldn’t act like it’s preparing its population for WW3.

      The Tzar is preparing the cannon fodder for the following wars

      In my time we had it in Ukraine about 12y.o. But it is a full shit and not helping in real war. Learning wooden AK…

      It’s priming the population to be fearful. When you functioning from the limbic system you are not critically appraising information in your frontal lobe. It is the same with Trump, Farage and all the other popularist fuckers who rely on the population feeling under threat to make their simplistic ‘solutions’ make them appear to be saviours.

      Training children to sacrifice themselves for old rich farts in a war of conquest. Yeah, that’s some Grade-A evil shit right there, just what to be expected from the Russian state.

    12. Masseyrati80 on

      Kids getting this training is not the issue, if you ask me.

      The issue is that Russia is claiming its citizens it’s surrounded by countries that are eager to attack it.

      Oh look, they got Putlerjugend.. now they just need to create Bund russischen mädel, and they will have it complete

      Everyone from the Balkans right now:

      *You absolute noobs*

      When babies are born here, some people still shoot in air their guns or AKs to celebrate.

      It sounds absurd. But imagine those indoctrinated and brainwashed kids in 10-20 years when they are sent into other countries (Europe but Asian as well). Russia is a cancer to the world.
