Putin on patriotic education: It may be inappropriate to bring up Bismarck, but he once served in Russia, even though he became a prominent German figure. He once said that wars are won not by generals, but by school teachers and priests. That’s right. It is absolutely true. Educating young people in the spirit of patriotism in the best sense of the word is extremely important. We are already beginning to do this. Over a thousand of your colleagues are working in schools and with children’s and teenagers’ groups, and we will definitely do this, because it is one thing to read in a book or watch a movie with patriotic content, and another thing to pass on something by personal example. The best education is a personal example. Источник: Slavyangrad
