Children as young as four and five are being given war lessons in Vladimir Putin's Russia.

Shocking footage shows an officer in combat fatigues demonstrating a Kalashnikov machine-gun and an anti-tank grenade launcher to kindergarten youngsters.

The 'teacher' is Pavel Firsov, from a militaristic pro-Kremlin movement called Combat Brotherhood.

Children at Kindergarten No. 31 in Korolev, near Moscow were taught the 'qualities that distinguish a true defender of the Motherland'.

Firsov is a 'veteran of military operations' and regularly gives military lessons to older children.

The classes come as tens of thousands of Russian troops have died in Putin's attempt to invade and emasculate independent country Ukraine.

One critical commenter asked in disbelief: 'Did I understand correctly that a combatant brought a machine gun and a flamethrower to the kindergarten?'

But another replied: 'It is better that a combatant who wishes well for children brings a machine gun and a flamethrower to the kindergarten than a terrorist.'

Another commenter despaired: 'In my school childhood, someone's grandfather with noble grey hair came bedecked in medals and told us that war is scary, with pain and tears.

'We were told how wonderful victory was and how to cherish world peace.

'I don't remember a word about weapons.

'Now happy Russian children are being told how and what to use to kill bad people. Feel the difference.'

Another complained: 'I'm shocked.

'Why, why show this in the kindergarten? Degenerates!'

A parent at the nursery school expressed outrage.

'We were not warned. We were only lucky that our child was not in the kindergarten on this day.'

Another critic said it was 'awful' to show children the weapons.

'The law says it is not permitted to involve children in military propaganda. It is necessary to report this violation to the prosecutor's office.'

Another said: 'The girls will probably not be interested, but the boys - 100%.

'We have become too soft and pampered as we see from so many indignant comments.'

In Russia, children attend kindergartens before transferring to schools at the age of seven.

This is crazy

Why is it crazy?
Russia is a fully militarized country and their signature weapon is used almost around the world. What were you expecting?

Also, If NATO invades, they need to know how to defend themselves. I'm just saying.

And this is my opinion. If you don't agree, feel free to masturbate on my mention.

The war don reach level?? Oluwa-Putin we need to talk pick your call

The way una dey justify things done by white people is appalling and the highest level of asślicking to say the least..
...when ISIS and boko haram did same..una go wail and condemn it in all possible ways....But since na your lord and saviour putin ..u had to look for justification for putting kalashnikov rifles and RPGs in the hands of kids.....

Oga...any war that has gotten to the level of kids becoming combatant has reached negotiation for peace

Kids are the tomorrow of the country for crying out loud
..

Trust me, I'm the last one to justify anything done by white people. I'm just saying. ISIS or Boko Haram would invade your village and you'll be forced to fight with them or be killed. Here, these are just kids are are being taught to handle a rifle Incase of an invasion. Which I'm sure is not going to happen.

Trust me, I dislike white people in any form, even Putin. I'm not taking sides in this war here.

I'll teach my male children how to handle gun at a tender age. Gun is a protective gear and total protection of my children will be my utmost responsibility.

When I said putin is a mad man many mad men would quote me wrongly.

U answered them well

Awful.

As if mobilizing Grandpa's for Putin's war wasn't bad enough.

Bad toy

Noted.

Newest batch of Russian meat

You don't show weapons to young kids like this. It is against the principle of education. This is wrong in every angle. Some kids may choose not to be military but use it negatively. U gerrit?

;DHa ha ha
Putin has run out of ideas
You think everything is about nuclear bomb

i like this .

After this orientation, dare to rob any house in Russia at your own peril

Putin is seriously serious
