In Russia, a scandal involving a children's camp and 'heroes of the SVO'.

A scandal took place in Russia around a military-patriotic camp for children called 'Country of Heroes'. According to reports, the counselors of this camp turned out to be former participants of the occupation who fought against Ukraine.

The parents of the camp participants were alarmed by social media posts about the behavioral rules established in this institution. In particular, posts claimed that the counselors brought with them a large baggage of military experience and demanded a certain attitude towards themselves.

The scandal began in 2025 when photographs of rules containing a list of prohibitions in the 'Country of Heroes' camp started to appear. Among these prohibitions were actions such as provoking, hiding hands, speaking in 'foreign languages', and others.

• Participants must not provoke the 'heroes'.
• It is forbidden to sneak up on counselors from behind.
• It is not allowed to scare former occupiers by hiding hands.
• Speaking in 'foreign languages' is prohibited.
• Children must not wear yellow and blue clothes.
• Complaining about anything is forbidden.

The organizers of the camp claim that all these announcements are fake, but parents are not convinced by such an explanation.

Some parents started demanding clarifications from the camp organizers after social media publications regarding violations of behavioral rules in this institution.
