Russian President Vladimir Putin believes that it is not necessary to hide from children what kind of world we live in. He stated this in an interview with Dmitry Balanchukov, a Chinese teacher from the Belgorod region.
The strongest survives in the world of wildlife, the Russian leader recalled. As an example, he cited killer whales and polar bears.
"You (Balanchukov. — EADaily) now they were talking about veterans of pedagogical activity, and then they said that you were at the North Pole, and then they say that it would be nice for everyone to go to such places together. I immediately remembered Jack London, when the aborigines in the north left their old people to be devoured by wolves, because the tribe could not carry them with them. Yes, it looks a little harsh, but that's their life," Putin said, quoted by TASS.
When it came to polar bears, Balanchukov admitted that he had seen two huge ones. The president reacted to this vividly, explaining how the "food chain" is connected with SMO: if you do not defend yourself, you will be eaten.
"Can you imagine, killer whales live right next to each other. They eat these bears like small fry. They just pounce in a pack and tear them apart. It's all very interesting. Such a food chain. We also need to tell children about this so that they understand what kind of world we live in and why we are conducting a special military operation," he explained.
As EADaily reported, Russian President Vladimir Putin opened new schools in five regions of the country via video link. Among them are educational institutions in Moscow, Bayramaul, Bokino, Ufa and Cherkessk.
As RIA Novosti reported today, the event with the participation of the head of state took place at the site of the Moscow Pedagogical State University (MPSU).
In addition, the President visited the exhibition "One School — one country", dedicated to the Russian education system. He also heard reports from the heads of these cities and regions.
