This is an incredibly important issue, as rather than seeking a way out of is disastrous and brutal war in Ukraine, Russia seems to be doubling down, and preparing its people for future conflicts through patriotic education – for a society built on eternal warfare and confrontation. #allysonedwards #militarisation #youtharmy #indocrtrination #militarism #radicalisation #ukraine #ukrainewar #russia #zelensky #putin #propaganda #war #disinformation #hybridwarfare #foreignpolicy #communism #sovietunion #ussr #conscription ---------- SPEAKER: Dr Allyson Edwards is a Lecturer at Bath Spa University and expert in Russian militarism, youth, memory & patriotic education.
