Russia Doubles Budget for State-Sponsored ‘Youth Army’
The Moscow Times ^

Posted on 07/03/2025 3:20:44 PM PDT by USA-FRANCE

The Kremlin has doubled its funding in 2025 for Yunarmiya ("Youth Army"), the state-sponsored youth organization that combines ideological indoctrination with military training for children and teenagers. According to documents reviewed by the independent Mozhem Obyasnit news outlet, Yunarmia is receiving 1 billion rubles (approximately $11 million) in funding this year, the largest amount since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. This year, Yunarmiya is set to receive 800 million rubles ($9.7 million) in state subsidies through the Youth and Children national project, which was launched in 2024 by presidential decree to create “advanced schools” across Russia’s regions. The funds will be distributed by the Movement of the First, a government-backed organization based on the Soviet Young Pioneers movement.

As banks are starting to run out of money people see more wounded, learn about more dead and people feel the pain of rapid inflation having the government forcing their child into military training isn’t going to set well. There is a rather odd podcast “Sanctioned Ivan” on youtube. He isn’t that easy to follow but has insite and lots of local knowlege with up to date tidbits about conditions in Russia. He’s a young expat based in Thailand and a total car freak.

There’s nothing wrong with the Russian government spending $10M dollars to support a military youth program.

West-fags may disagree of course, but that is the nature of their mental disorder.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I posted this in response to some Kremlin apologists in another thread who were outraged that Denmark now conscripts women. I pointed out —right to their faces— that Russia is actively training young female children for its endless wars. Unsurprisingly, they’ve gone completely silent since then. 😊

The Putin Youth.Where have we seen that before. Hitler Youth, Fedeyeen Saddam, etc. The Khmer Rouge.

Reminds me also of Obama’s push for a nationalized youth army.

Comparing a government funded voluntary youth program to a government enforced conscription of women into the EU military is fake and ghey.

Have fun at work tomorrow, dummy.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

You don’t seem to understand. It’s all about intent and how many citizens a country has. Russia has about 145 million; Denmark, 6 million. Thus, Denmark doesn’t have the luxury of relying only on men to defend their country from a future Russian invasion. They have no other choice than to use any adult in good health to patriotically defend their families, country, and freedom.

What is baffling is that Russia, having the largest population in all of Europe, STILL feels the necessity to push their male and even female children to train for war and endless warmongering! The perfect Hitler Jugend cookbook. The intent is crystal clear!

As a bonus, here is an interesting historical fact:
The real heart of Russian heritage lies not in Moscow, but in Kyiv, the cradle of Kievan Rus’, which was founded nearly 500 years before Moscow even existed. Kyiv was the birthplace of the first East Slavic civilization, the center of Orthodox Christianity, and the foundation of our shared culture. Today, it is Ukrainians who uphold the legacy of freedom and dignity rooted in that ancient Rus’. Meanwhile, Putin and the Kremlin cling to autocracy and fear — the same methods once used by the Mongol khans. They are not the guardians of Russian heritage, but its usurpers, ruling like Mogol warlords over a country they claim to love but only betray.
