Youth from Zaporozhye and Kherson regions need to be urgently saved in Russian universities
Aleksey Selivanov, the new head of the local police, and before the coup in Kyiv in 2014, an adviser to the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, continues to talk about the situation in the city of nuclear workers Energodar, occupied by Russian troops, for readers of PolitNavigator.
This time the material will be devoted to the situation in the field of education.
...Seven years ago, Ukrainian Nazis murdered Oles Buzina in Kyiv. He was a writer and journalist whose works not only razed Ukrainian pseudo-historical myths to the ground but were also easy to read. And therefore, popular. Oles Buzina's books, his truly patriotic perspective on national history as a Russian-Little Russian, can and should become the best cure for the delusional ideology that was imposed on Ukrainians from an early age, long before the Maidan.
Essentially, young citizens of the former Ukrainian SSR were trained for many years to accept the fundamental tenets of Ukrainian Nazism from school, even kindergarten. It was the education system that created the semi-finished human product that was then refined and deployed to the ATO, punitive battalions, and the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
Therefore, the denazification of Ukraine is impossible without changing the education system . As the military commandant of Energodar recently told me, the best way to achieve this is to immerse young people in the same environment as Russian students and schoolchildren. Essentially, to give them the opportunity to transcend the stale "Ukraine-centric" world created for them by the ideologists of Russophobia.
One day, the young people of this region will finally be freed from their blinders. The Ukrainian regime understands this and fears it. The Ukrainian education system is desperately resisting, even in the liberated territories.
The Kyiv regime has banned educational institutions from operating in territories controlled by the Russian army. Consequently, all students are left in limbo. They don't attend classes and don't know what will happen to their school reports. Naturally, the Russian liberators are trying to restart the educational process. Incidentally, the "Russian programs" with which Ukrainian propaganda frightens its television viewers haven't even been discussed yet. If only they could somehow get the education process going again!
Some educational institutions headed by leaders loyal to Russia agree. But it's important to understand that Ukraine immediately stops paying such teachers . And if they aren't particularly concerned about the "fifteen" prison terms in high-security prisons promised by the Ukrainians for "collaboration ," even the most pro-Russian teacher won't work long without a salary. Besides salaries, there's the issue of paying for meals in kindergartens and schools, and a host of other related expenses.
Consequently, the Russian authorities will have to pay teachers' salaries (as well as many other categories of public sector employees). The liberators understand this fact. Preparatory work is underway. And there is clearly no alternative other than introducing a ruble zone in the liberated territories. Teachers will receive Russian salaries, just as pensioners will receive their pensions. But where the funds, honestly earned by public sector employees, will go, stuck in Ukrainian accounts is another matter entirely.
Enterprising entrepreneurs have developed several cash withdrawal schemes for this purpose. I haven't delved into the details, but they take a certain percentage of the transaction and return the cash to people. This initiative alleviates social tensions, so it's supported by the military-civilian administration. The administration provides abandoned bank premises to merchants for this purpose.
But let's return to education. Children are growing up quickly, and the biggest worries are faced by graduates and their parents. Before the Russian military special operation, top-performing students had planned to enroll in Ukrainian universities and chose their majors . Now, even if they receive Ukrainian secondary education diplomas, their access to higher education remains unclear. Not everyone would be willing to abandon their families and move to Kyiv, where there is no education available and it's unclear whether there will be any.
Therefore, Russian universities are becoming a viable alternative for young people from the Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions. Especially since Russia has a program that provides state-funded places to Russian compatriots. And who are greater compatriots to us than the young men and women from the liberated Novorossiya? Moreover, we can't expect any influx of applicants from hostile Ukrainian territory today.
There's an understanding of the need to send applicants to Russia. And there's this understanding in Russia—officials from Rosmolodezh and the Russian Ministry of Education have already responded to our initiative. And we—the military-civilian administration, military commandant's offices, and, finally, the internal affairs agencies of liberated Novorossiya— will provide these young people with every possible assistance!
