Putin’s vision has been formalized in the “New Philosophy of Formation” developed by the Russian Children’s Centre in conjunction with Znaniye, a Soviet-era organisation relaunched in 2015 to provide state-approved educational guidance and resources to the public. The new philosophy aims to unify approaches to moral and academic education, incorporating schools, families and community organizations in the process. It focuses on “improving children and young people’s capabilities” and instilling approved spiritual and moral values.
Putin really does not see it. Ukraine really does not matter to the West, but by killing his youth he long term destroys Russia as a serious threat. Same story with his military equipment. There is a reason many in the West do not want Ukraine to win quickly. The war destroys Russia as a serious threat long term. The longer it lasts, the weaker Russia is going to become.
You are absolutely right, but I would like to highlight that many is not a majority.
Majority of us want to see this over ASAP with Russia bleeding on the floor and Ukraine getting a good rest and reconstruction.
