(You are welcome.)

From what I understood, it's done only to affect\involve their parents and relatives without any long-term plans. The official putenjugend was created 10+ years ago and after some PR generally flew under radar. This wave started only after the average Vanya started to question the geostrategical masterplan around summer-autumn of 2022, and when army started to need more brothers and dads to serve. I don't know if it makes it worse, but it sure makes it look more cynical towards kids and overall short-sighted. The latter may be for the better though.

I don't know the specific term, but yeah, if they knit their self-worth around the rod of the battle banner, they form a codependency to that movement and feelings they'd eventually lose. Not to say they also skip classes, don't socialize with their peers, miss out on many stuff they would hardly get back. Let's hope they'd have less time to get used to it (:

It'd sure take Nothing Fucking Works over the Universal Bad Example.
