An analysis of the course content reveals four key strategic directions:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>portraying Ukraine as the enemy<\/strong> \u2013 Ukrainian patriotism is labelled as \u201cneo-Nazism\u201d, while Ukraine itself is presented as an artificial state created by Russia\u2019s enemies;<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><strong>justifying the war<\/strong> \u2013 the Russian invasion is depicted as \u201cdefence\u201d against alleged Ukrainian threats, reversing the roles of victim and aggressor;<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><strong>forced russification of children<\/strong> \u2013 under the guise of \u201chelp\u201d and \u201crehabilitation\u201d, children are compelled to forget Ukrainian culture and become Russian;<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><strong>search for enemies<\/strong> \u2013 anyone who criticises Russia or supports Ukraine is labelled an \u201cextremist\u201d.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The course employs deceptive techniques \u2013 it manipulates meanings, instils fear through imaginary threats, and hides behind pseudo-scientific justifications. Under the guise of \u201ccombating extremism\u201d, the Russian Federation is carrying out systematic ideological indoctrination of children and young people in the temporarily occupied territories, aimed at eradicating Ukrainian identity and fostering loyalty to the aggressor state.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Such practices have not only ideological but also deep demographic consequences. The ongoing russification and propaganda put Ukraine at risk of losing an entire generation of children and adolescents who grow up without identifying with Ukrainian culture, language or statehood. This is more than a question of identity; it is a question of the country\u2019s future, as the loss of a generation means the loss of human, intellectual and economic potential, which form the foundation of Ukraine\u2019s recovery and development.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>This course is not merely a propaganda tool; it forms part of the aggressor state\u2019s policy aimed at the long-term weakening of the Ukrainian nation.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">Material was prepared by the Center for Civic Education \u201cAlmenda\u201d within the framework of the project \u201cDefending Identity: Protecting Ukrainian Children in Occupied Territories\u201d.
