Patriotism strategy

Many bloggers agreed that they are trying to foster patriotism with similar parades in children. Indeed, this is not a new idea for the Russian authorities. At the end of last year, the Russian government set about developing a strategy for raising children in the spirit of patriotism, spiritual values, respect for parents and love for sport, writes Air force.

The strategy began to be discussed back in December 2015. The concept was fundamentally influenced by the annexation of the Crimea and the events in Ukraine.

The draft strategy stated that it was necessary to “define the priorities of state policy in the field of raising children, ensuring the formation of Russian civic identity,” and also to place emphasis on “strengthening the moral foundations of public life.”

One of the main directions was “civic and patriotic education,” for which the original version of the project proposed creating conditions for educating “patriots ready for worthy service to society.”

Active citizenship and responsibility, as stated in the document, will be cultivated exclusively on the basis of “traditional cultural, spiritual and moral values ​​of Russian society.”
