Vladimir Putin to send Russian children to North Korean summer camps
Yahoo/The Telegraph ^ | June 30, 2024 | James Kilner

Vladimir Putin plans to send Russian children to a summer camp in North Korea where activities include polishing the statues of leaders.

Grigory Gurov, the head of Putin’s Movement of the First youth organisation, announced the plan despite opposition from worried Russian parents.

“We will now form our delegation,” he said. “Conditions there are good.”

The children will be the first Russian group for five years to visit the Songdowon camp, built on North Korea’s eastern shore by dictator Kim Jong-un’s grandfather in 1960.

Accounts from Russian adult leaders on previous trips described Songdowon camp as a cross between a boarding house with regular blackouts, dawn wake-ups and roll calls, and a Disney-themed water park.

Samsonov described a tightly packed day that included enforced exercise, state-approved lessons, cleaning and a disco. As for the food, he said “they always give you soup, rice, potatoes”.

The initiative is the latest sign of blossoming relations between the two countries.

North Korea has become a vital arms supplier for the Kremlin since Kim visited Russia last year. The country is thought to have sent five million artillery shells and dozens of missiles to bolster the forces against Ukrain.

When Putin visited Pyongyang, the capital, last month to sign a military pact and to give Kim a luxury car, he also promised to send children from the Movement of the First to the Songdowon camp.

I suspect these kids may have a better time - a hundred Ukrainian kids in the Basque country for the summer -

This rings of “Hitler Youth” where the little kiddies were indoctrinated into Nazism at a very early age. In this case, the little Ruskies get first hand knowledge about the joys of communism and how wonderful a dictator can be. Maybe there is some truth to Putin wanting to crank up the USSR again.

Let’s not forget that Moscow has kidnapped thousands, maybe tens of thousands of Ukrainian kids from the occupied territories and sent them....somewhere. Not to summer camp, that’s for sure.

Nork citizens have been conditioned from birth to treat the Kims like literal gods. As such any ‘blasphemy’ against them would result in dire consequences.

Since Russian kids haven’t been conditioned to anywhere near the same extent to idolise their leaders since the days of Stalin it is inevitable that one of these Russian kids is going to say something that is less than reverent about fat boy and then what?

Chill dude. He is not saying Russia is better than us ... he was just taking a dig at our own “glorious leaders” who have been working night and day to turn us into a 3rd world shithole.

Personally, I miss the days when there were only 2 genders and people were not forcing surgery on our youth, and his comment certainly did not deserve your attack. God help us if we get to the point where we cant even point out our own faults. Thats kind of what the left does.

Just chill out.

Both the GH and Putin are evil. You can oppose both, you know, just as we who oppose Putin do -

Excuse me but even in threads I’m not participating in, they post to me and call me a Biden supporter.
I’ve been observing this nonsense for years now and I know exactly what he’s doing.

Meloni is another CINO, fake “conservative” and betrayer.

But she does want more death, war and destruction in Ukraine. No wonder you love her !
