Russia, by deporting children, wants to improve their demographic potential - expert

Political scientist Volodymyr Molchanov said in a comment to Focus that the Russian Federation was trying to make Ukrainians doubt that the state needs stolen children. Russia will continue to continue the practice of moving and deportation of children, because it is profitable for it for several reasons. This is in a comment for the material of the focus "kept in the Crimea, then adopted. What happens to the stolen Ukrainian children in Russia" said Kherson political scientist Vladimir Molchanov.

The expert identifies three possible causes of deportation of Ukrainian children to the Russian Federation. The first is to replenish demographic potential. "Since the Russians are classic Nazis, they are very concerned with the fact that in Russia there are now more than half of children born in the Russian Federation, are not carriers of Russian appearance and culture. They try to increase the potential for the export of Ukrainian children.

Approximately, as the Germans did with Polish, Ukrainian and Russian children, when they measured their skulls and, if they recognized them outwardly Aryan, they were taken from their parents. While German propaganda was not taken over the re-education of teenagers, Russian believes that it can make anyone else a model Russian, "he said.

The second reason is that with the help of children, Russia presses on the Ukrainian authorities, inciting society to demand the return of children, to doubt that these children need Ukraine. The third - during the war, Russia tries to show itself as a humane state that saves children. "Russian society is looking at what" fascists "are ready to kill or abandon their own children," Molchanov continues. "Stories about Mariupol and those who" 8 summer bombil Donbass "are so common.

They work for Internal propaganda and to some extent to some part of Western society, which is still looking for arguments to support Russia. " We will remind, in the fall of 2022 it became known that the children's Ombudsman of the Russian Federation Maria Lviv-Belova took the Ukrainian child from Mariupol. Already in March 2023 a boy from the Kherson region, who managed to take from the territory of the occupied Crimea that in the sanatorium where he was, "beat those who for Ukraine".
