to learn how to handle weapons at OBZh will be optional – Kommersant

Many schoolchildren are interested in learning how to work with weapons, says Minister of Education Sergei Kravtsov. It is planned to conduct this training as part of the initial military training at the life safety lessons, but at will.

“As I said, the course on the basics of life safety already provides, for those who wish, the study of working with weapons … By the way, many guys are interested in this,” Mr. Kravtsov said in an interview with RIA Novosti.

The day before the minister informedthat OBZh can be renamed into “Fundamentals of Security and Defense of the Motherland.” From September 1, 2023, the life safety course will be supplemented with basic military training. This subject was abolished in Russian schools in the early 1990s.
