Russian youth will receive training on how to survive nuclear bombs and protect themselves in case of an attack.

Recent reports have revealed that Russian schoolchildren will soon be learning how to protect themselves in the event of a nuclear attack. This comes as a response to President Vladimir Putin's threats towards Ukraine and its Western allies, which have sparked fear reminiscent of the Cold War. The new curriculum, titled "The Fundamentals of Security and Defence of the Motherland", will equip students with crucial knowledge on the combat properties and damaging effects of mass destruction weapons, as well as methods of protection against them.

According to a recent update on a portal for teachers, the curriculum will be implemented in schools across the country as early as September. In addition to nuclear warfare, students will also be educated on how to handle natural disasters, man-made emergencies, and biological-social hazards. The importance of providing first aid in various situations, such as external bleeding, injuries, burns, frostbite, and poisoning, will also be emphasized.

But it's not all doom and gloom. The curriculum also includes elements of basic military training, including how to handle a Kalashnikov rifle and hand grenades. This practical knowledge will undoubtedly come in handy in case of any unforeseen circumstances. The changes were approved by President Putin in August of last year, solidifying the importance of security and defence education in schools.

This new addition to the curriculum serves as a sobering reminder of the current political climate, with whispers of the war in Ukraine potentially spreading to other parts of Europe. President Putin has repeatedly accused Western countries of escalating tensions, and the deployment of tactical nuclear weapons to ally Belarus in September 2023 has only added to the unease. While the Kremlin has assured that these weapons will not be used, former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev has made veiled threats of using their arsenal if Ukraine's counteroffensive is successful.

In light of these developments, it is crucial for Russian students to be prepared and equipped with the necessary knowledge and skills to protect themselves and their country in times of crisis. The new curriculum will undoubtedly play a vital role in shaping the young generation's understanding of security and defence, and hopefully, contribute to a safer and more secure future for all.
