Inside Russia’s harrowing ‘re-education’ camps — where they send kidnapped Ukrainian kids
The New York Post ^ | March 6, 2023 | Snejana Farberov

Kidnapped Ukrainian children are being sent to Russian “re-education” camps — where they are kept in prison-like conditions, forced to watch Russian propaganda, beaten and subjected to sexual violence, according to parents and activists.

Inessa Vertash, 43, hasn’t seen her 15-year-old son, Vitaliy, in five months — ever since he left on what was supposed to be a two-week trip to a camp at the urging of his school teacher.

It was billed as a retreat to escape the fighting.

“I told her I wanted to think about it but she said there’s nothing to think about, they were leaving the next day and would get food five times a day and why would you keep him here where there are bombs and missiles?,” the distressed mother told the Sunday Times.

After the two weeks were up, the teen was moved to another camp, which he likened to a prison.

Vertash told the Times that her son called her crying and described his harrowing living conditions.

“There were no sheets on the beds, they were made to wear clothes of old people, given food only fit for pigs and beaten if they didn’t sing the Russian anthem,” the mom recounted.

Even more alarmingly, Vitaliy told his mother that Russian camp workers were forcing 13-year-old Ukrainian girls to have sex with them.

All the Russians will get with this is another generation that hates them.

At least they didn’t stab them in their incubators.

That photoshopped Ukrainian flag on the boys jacket, gives this story the extra little touch.

At least the camps aren’t trying to castrate the boys and mutilate the girl’s genitals like we find in American public school “camps”.

“Russification“. That’s when they teach you to pronounce your v’s like w’s.

Re-education camps in Russia? Never heard of such a thing.

Everything they come up with is always manufactured lies and photoshopped nonsense. Much of it is guaranteed to pull the heartstrings of an average doofus.

Apparently the straight up truth does not push their agenda.

This is exactly why few believe them. They have the “little boy who cried wolf syndrome”.

Nothing beats US schools, where they now drug kids to get them ready to have their twangs cut off.

...but I guess that doesn’t bother the NY Post.

When I read ‘news’ stories such as this, my first question is, which government fed the story to the media.
American? Ukrainian? Russian? United Kingdom? European Union?
China?
I long ago learned this type of story is usually nothing more than propaganda.

As long as the article and its URL are posted with a recommendation to read, it is further recommended to read the entire parade of comments to that NY Post article. Most entertaining and informative of the range of views on this.

One observes that "15-year-old son, Vitaliy," would have been a conscript in other wars.

I found the anecdote quite interesting. "Vitaliy [ a 15-year old teenager ] told his mother that Russian camp workers were forcing 13-year-old Ukrainian girls to have sex with them." When this happens in inner cities in the US, what does the NY Post call it?
