Patriotic young Russians flock to join the Youth Army


Volgograd (Russia) (AFP) – At the Stalingrad Battle Museum in Russia’s southern city of Volgograd, dozens of teenagers stand in a circle, waiting to take oath as they join the patriotic Youth Army movement. Though patriotism has always been a feature of being young in Russia, Moscow’s offensive in Ukraine has encouraged many to take their patriotism a step further.
