War&Sanctions: DIU revealed the names of Russian propagandist teachers at TOT

The Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine publishes data on ten individuals involved in instilling Russian propaganda into Ukrainian children in the temporarily occupied territories in the “Child Kidnappers” section of the War&Sanctions portal.

The aggressor state continues to commit cultural genocide by expanding the all-Russian program “Zemsky Teacher” to the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine. As part of the program, teachers from the Russian Federation move to TOT and teach in local schools.

The temporarily occupied territories of Donetsk, Zaporizhia, Luhansk and Kherson regions have been identified by the Russian authorities as priority regions for the program. Teachers who agree to move and work there will receive double compensation payments of 2 million rubles.

Individual Russian teachers participate in the program for personal and ideological reasons.

Thus, Russian language and literature teacher Tatyana Belaborodova moved to the village of Komyshuvate, Mariupol district, Donetsk region, from the Khabarovsk Territory of the Russian Federation, in particular, with the aim of “being closer to her husband,” who is directly participating in the war against Ukraine as part of the Russian Armed Forces.

Identifying the organizers and perpetrators of such actions is an important step towards restoring justice, bringing those responsible to justice, and ensuring that punishment for the crimes committed is inevitable.
