Russian schools use comics glorifying war in Ukraine

Russian schools have begun holding classes using comics that glorify participants in the war against Ukraine, according to reports from 'Verstka'. Since February, lessons based on these materials have been conducted for students in grades 5-9, often involving Yunarmiya members in uniform. The comics, authored by Oleg Roy and prepared with the participation of the 'Znanie' society, tell the stories of 15 'SVO heroes' presented as role models, but include scenes of violence, severed limbs, and corpses of killed Ukrainian soldiers. Many of the featured individuals are accused of war crimes, such as Ivan Boldyrev, whose 319th Separate Helicopter Regiment is considered involved in crimes against civilians in the Kyiv region.
