Recently, there has been a proposal from the Russian government that has caused quite a stir. It suggests that newborn babies in our country should be wrapped in the Russian flag after they are born. Tatyana Butskaya, a passionate pro-war MP, has even proposed that each newborn should be given patriotic gifts in the colors of our beloved Russian tricolor - white, blue, and red. As the deputy chairperson of the committee on Family Protection, Fatherhood, Motherhood, and Childhood in the Russian parliament, Butskaya explained that this initiative would start from next year and every newborn across the nation would receive these gifts.
According to Butskaya, this is a way of instilling patriotism in our children from the very beginning. She believes that with a tricolor, a coat of arms, and their first set of clothes, these babies will know that they were born in Russia and that they are important and loved. She also expressed her desire for every child, regardless of their region, to receive this special gift.
Butskaya, who is 49 years old, has also come up with a plan to encourage women in Russia to have more babies. This is in line with President Putin's goal of increasing the birth rate in our country. She believes that large families should be considered the new elite and that governors should be held accountable for the birth rate in their regions. Furthermore, she insists that employers should also play a role in this by monitoring the number of children born to their employees and taking steps to increase it.
As this proposal is being discussed, disturbing news has emerged about Russian nursery school children being given a model of a war-torn Ukrainian community. This model, presented by war veterans, depicts the aftermath of a brutal attack by Putin's forces in the suburb of Bakhmut. These forces have been accused of committing war crimes such as executions, torture, and rape of innocent civilians. The model was given to children as young as seven years old, as they were being introduced to Yunarmia - a junior army force established in 2015 to keep children out of trouble and promote militarism and patriotism.
This has raised concerns among many, as Yunarmia has been compared to the Hitler Youth in Nazi Germany. The model of the Bakhmut war scene, intended to show the children "one day in the special military operation" unleashed by Putin, showcases the devastating effects of war on civilians. Despite the disturbing nature of this gift, the Yunarmia press service reported that the children were happy to receive it.
It is evident that this proposal to wrap newborns in the Russian flag and Butskaya's plan to increase the birth rate in our country have sparked controversy and raised questions about the government's priorities. As we move forward, it is essential to consider the well-being and future of our children, rather than focusing on promoting militarism and nationalism.
