Kremlin turns kindergartens into propaganda camps - Break the Fake - TVP WORLD
Russia's classrooms are no longer about math, reading, or even fairy tales. Instead, they've become training grounds for tomorrow's soldiers. During a recent visit to a school, the Russian education minister watched as children - some barely old enough to write their names - were made to sing the war anthem "Serve Russia!" Since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine began, propaganda has been turned into state curriculum. Now, with the launch of the program "Conversations about important things" in kindergartens, even three year-olds are being taught to glorify war, demonize Ukraine, and see military service as destiny. This is no longer education - it's indoctrination. Join Benjamin Lee for new episode of Break the Fake to find out how Putin's regime is turning kids into propaganda soldiers, and what this means for Russia's future.
