Putin signed a law in August creating a new required course in “Fundamentals of Security and Defense of the Motherland.”

In July, the defense ministry approved high school-age lessons on how to operate assault rifles, combat drones and hand grenades. They will be introduced across Russia next year.

At younger ages, children as young as seven are learning how to assemble machine guns.
