In the Kuban, the authorities organized a “parade of kindergartners” in the uniform of Russian troops

In the town of Eiske, Krasnodar Territory, the authorities held a parade of preschoolers under the slogan “We are the great-grandchildren of the Great Victory.” As part of the event, children of preschool age in military uniform marched in front of the tribune, according to the publication of Roman Bublyk, the head of the Eyskiy district municipal government.

“The children’s parade is being held this year for the first time. I am sure that we will hold this parade every hour. It is very nice that despite such a young age, you already know the history of our country, our main heroes,” the official addressed the young children .

In the published video, preschoolers are marching in front of civil servants, veterans and representatives of military units stationed in Eysk. The children are wearing stylized uniforms of various branches of the army – land, amphibious, navy and air force. St. George’s ribbon was worn on the chest of the “parade” participants.

In a comment for the Kavkaz.Realii website, the former deputy of the Eysky District Council, Alexander Korovainy, said that in recent years, several criminal cases have been initiated against the heads of local educational institutions, and the head of the education department, Lydia Braun, “is trying to stay in place with similar actions, even ahead of propaganda messages.” .

“Legislation expressly prohibits involving children in politics, and in this context we are talking about politics, not patriotic education. Against the background of the fact that young men, the older brothers of these children, are now dying in a war that no one needs [в Украине], dress them up in military uniform – blasphemously. From kindergarten, they are being prepared to be in the place of killed servicemen,” says the former municipal deputy.

• In October 2022, a Russian Su-34 fighter-bomber crashed near a residential building in Eisk. Two pilots who managed to eject said that the cause of the crash was a fire in one of the engines. According to official data, fuel caught fire at the place where the plane fell, which led to a fire in the nine-story building. 15 people died.

• “Parades of preschoolers” were organized in a number of Russian cities and earlier, as a rule, they were timed to Victory Day – May 9.
• In Russian schools, since the autumn of last year, there have been classes called “Conversations about the important”, often dedicated to patriotic propaganda.
• In March of this year, a member of the legislative assembly of the Rostov region, Tatyana Ivashchenko, proposed to involve schoolchildren in the production of camouflage nets and trench candles for the Russian army and to do it without the consent of parents – as part of “socially significant voluntary work”.
• In October, in the third grade of the school in the village of Pryvolnaya, Krasnodar Territory, a mercenary of the so-called PMC “Wagner” was invited to the lesson “Conversations about the important” as an “honored guest”. A few days later – after it was published in the mass media – the school removed from its website the information about the children’s meeting with the mercenary.
• The deportation of Ukrainian children became the reason for the issuance of a warrant by the International Criminal Court in The Hague against the President of Russia Vladimir Putin and the Commissioner for Children’s Rights in the country Maria Lvova-Belova.
