Russian State Informer - Pavel Morozov
Russian pupils are now snitching to the authorities about their teachers who criticise Russia's war in the Ukraine. One Russian teacher has just been given a 5-year suspended jail sentence and banned from teaching for three years because she criticised the war.
This sort of thing reminds me of the famous or should I say, infamous case, of Pavel Moroz, the 13-year old Soviet youth who denounced his own father to the Stalinist authorities for being a 'Kulak'. He was killed by his own family and thereafter, proclaimed a martyr by the Soviet Authorities, and a role model for Soviet children to inform on their own parents.
In private, Joseph Stalin, told one of his comrades, "What a little swine, denouncing his own father." The Russian author, Maxim Gorky, thought otherwise. He spoke to Communist youth of the "heroic deed of Pioneer Pavlik Morozov..."
