For pupils of school No. 37 in the city of Vladimir, they organized a "Conscript's Day", after which they called on tenth-graders to conclude a contract with the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation and go to war. This is reported by the Telegram-channel "Argument".
During the event, teenagers were told how to use chemical protection suits, carry out first aid at the front, were taught sapper business and showed weapons and personal protective equipment.
According to an eyewitness, the "Conscript's Day" was held at the school stadium. On it were located "stations", near which the students were told about various aspects of military service. At the same time, some of the “lecturers” wore the symbols of PMC Wagner on their clothes.
According to the Argument's source, at the contract service station, the schoolchildren "were convinced that the military service awaiting them should be immediately replaced with a contract service, and one of the lecturers urged the schoolchildren to 'cheat crests'."
In December 2022, the Russian Ministry of Education announced that the subject of "initial military training" (NVP) would return to schools next academic year. It will be taught in grades 5-11 of schools, schools, technical schools and colleges.
