Russia launches propaganda "museum on wheels" in occupied Crimea

By May 9, the occupation authorities are launching a "museum on wheels" in the annexed Crimea. The "victory train" will travel through the occupied cities of the peninsula.

According to the Center of National Resistance, the train will run on the route Kerch - Simferopol with stops in Yevpatoriya and Sevastopol.

"10 cars with low-grade wax figures telling about the 'exploits' of the Soviet liberators. In fact, these cars have a completely different historical value - it was in these cars that the Kremlin deported Crimean Tatars from their homeland in 1944," the CNS notes.

Russia is rewriting history again to hide its own crimes. And this event is yet another imposition of Russian propaganda.

Earlier, the Russians organized a propaganda performance for the youth of Crimea. Representatives of the Storm assault unit of the 810th Marine Brigade of the Russian Federation, a unit staffed not only by mobilized soldiers but also by former prisoners, including those convicted of serious crimes, spoke to the students.

In the temporarily occupied territories, the invaders are also creating engineering classes to teach teenagers how to assemble drones for the needs of the Russian army. The classes are being opened with the support of the occupation administrations, including the so-called ministries of education. The Russians have already approved a program to expand the network of these classes by 2030.

In addition, in the annexed Crimea, children in the Russian-occupiedArtek recreation center are forced to spend at least six hours a week producing aid for the Russian army. The children have to assemble drones, weave camouflage nets, make trench candles and raise money for medicines.

Kateryna Rashevska, a lawyer at the Regional Center for Human Rights, said that the re-education of Ukrainian teenagers and youth is very well integrated into the policy of the Russian Federation, and it is carried out by bodies of different levels - federal, regional, occupation and even Ukrainian collaborators:

"This is a set of measures aimed at militarizing and politically indoctrinating Ukrainian children through both formal and non-formal education."
