Kremlin political technologists in the TOT have launched a campaign to promote “state” and “municipal” service among young people aged 18 to 35. In this way, the occupiers are trying to fill the shortage of personnel in the occupation administrations.
The programme is called “GosStart”, and its development was carried out by order of the Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration for Internal Policy, Evgeny Nikolaevich Grachev (Russian: Грачев Евгений Николаевич). This process is supervised by the Russian federal agency for youth affairs, Rosmolodezh.
According to the campaign plan, at the initial stage, young people are involved in “youth councils” and internships in the occupation authorities, and later, after receiving a Russian passport and passing a special check, they are employed.
The National Resistance Centre warns that work in the occupation authorities is regarded as collaboration and is subject to criminal prosecution.
If you have any information about people involved in such “organisations”, please report them to our chatbot.
