A focus on beautiful children from children, a ban on fairy dust, and "Domostroy" for schoolchildren: #ShameReview from "NotMoscow"

🤯 Russian preschoolers and schoolchildren want to be taught how to give birth to beautiful and healthy children from childhood. “From kindergarten and school, children should be taught not how to avoid pregnancy and how to protect themselves, but how to give birth to a healthy and beautiful child,” — they announced at a meeting of the Legislative Assembly of St. Petersburg.

🤯 However, the authorities won't leave women alone either. The head physician of the children's hospital St. Petersburg Avtandil Mikavacalled on the authorities to intervene more actively in issues of reproductive choice: "Abortion was illegal from 1935 to 1955. And look at the birth rate peak in the early 50s."

🤯 Actor Vitaly Gogunsky (aka Kuzya from "Univer") claimed that rich people are smart because "rich" comes from the word "god," and resources are granted only to those who respect themselves and others. In his opinion, the stereotype of the stupid rich and the smart poor is long outdated. And anyway: "Being rich is more difficult than being popular."

🤯 In Krasnodar Territory Schoolchildren in family studies classes are taught about the patriarchal family model, the harm of "emancipation," and the pseudoscientific theory of telegony. A teaching aid prepared by the archpriest Dmitry Moiseev and a nun Nina Krigina, recommends building a family according to the principles of "Domostroy," claims that gender equality is a Western invention, and explains the demographic crisis as a "geopolitical order."

🤯 On the eve of a concert in Tver, Z-singer Shaman approached the portraits on display in the hall of the concert venue and crossed himself three times. “The sign of the cross is my faith, and I will answer for my faith and life only before God, and not before those who seek someone to crucify,” he said, commenting on his actions.

🤯 The Federation Council discussed the problems of producing and promoting patriotic films, specifically the lack of a "hero" for the younger generation. "These are the ones who set the role models of behavior. Last year's study showed that the older generation's hero is Stirlitz, the middle generation's is Brat, and the younger generation's is Spider-Man. It's quite scary," noted the President of the Guild of Screenwriters of the Union of Cinematographers of Russia Alexey Aleshkovsky. “We see portraits of SVO participants on the streets, but we don’t know their stories.”

🤯 In Ryazan Due to a ban on "drug propaganda," the regional children's library no longer lends out books mentioning mushrooms, potions, fairy dust, and poppy fields. Publications on medicine, veterinary science, and mycology have also been removed from public access.
