Host: Matt Wickham

In this episode, we will explore how Russia leverages its school education system, particularly through recent educational reforms, to shape school children into compliant Russian subjects, preparing them to serve as obedient soldiers who, without hesitation, may be deployed to the frontlines of current and future wars initiated by Russia. Our focus will be on the reintroduction of Initial Military Training in schools, as a response to Russia's failures in Ukraine, and the youth groups designed to curb critical thinking and instill loyalty to the state!
