4/ A press release on VK says that "14 teams of 6 people went through 11 stations, and also attended a variety of interesting master classes, improving their dexterity, accuracy, ability to work in a team and be friendly.
They were accompanied by cadets involved in patriotic clubs in the area. Pre-conscription youth also worked at the stations. The children took part in a number of actions and wrote letters to the soldiers."
5/ "After completing all the stages, the kids tasted the soldier’s porridge with appetite."
The exercise forms part of an ongoing and increasingly intensive effort to militarise Russia's schools, with 'patriotic education' now provided from an early age along with training in militarily useful topics such as drone flying. /end

В детском саду вырыли окоп В городе Лабинск Краснодарского края администрация района провела патриотическую игру «Зарничка-2023» среди дошкольников. Во дворе детского сада на газоне выкопали яму очень напоминающую могилу, назвали это окопом и заставили 84 детсадовцев в ней играть. Глава администрации Владимир Забураев и воспитатели детского сада с радостью наблюдали за детьми, играющими в убийства друг друга. В программе мероприятия также были уже стандартные сборка/разборка автоматов и написание писем военным на фронт. Это — «Не норма»!
I suppose
Little I'd ever teach a son, but hitting,
Shooting, war, hunting, all the arts of hurting.
Well, that's what I learnt,—that, and making money.
