INTRO:
In today’s interview we are exploring the militarisation of youth and
manipulation of history with Allyson Edwards. This is an incredibly
important issue, as rather than seeking a way out of is disastrous and
brutal war in Ukraine, Russia seems to be doubling down, and preparing
its people for future conflicts through patriotic education – for a
society built on eternal warfare and confrontation.
