Dans les camps patriotiques russes

In Russia, thousands of children participate in completely unusual summer camps created by the Kremlin to instill a patriotic ideology from a very young age. These military training courses, which begin at age 10, teach discipline, combat, and indoctrination. Just 50 km from Moscow, in the heart of a birch forest, the Zhukovsky camp offers around thirty young people a month of intensive training for the modest sum of 8 euros. Behind this paltry price lies a specific goal: to prepare young people to defend Russia, and potentially, to go to war. We immerse you in the Kaskad camp, run by veterans of the wars in Afghanistan and Chechnya. On the program: military marches, handling toy weapons, and ideological training. These children aren't just having fun; they're preparing to become the soldiers of the future. Director: Stéphane Rodriguez
