A priority of the Russian state is to foster feelings of patriotism among its youth. Patriotism in this sense often entails not only inculcating a feeling of pride in the state, but also nurturing a love for the motherland so deep that a child would sacrifice themselves for it. More often than not, this sacrifice is often viewed within the context of war. Youth are indoctrinated across multiple domains: via formal education, popular culture, the physical landscape, media, and youth patriotic groups. This piece examines the youth indoctrination strategies of the state, centering the discussion on the-military youth patriotic group Yunarmiya. This includes examining the group's objectives and the ways in which the concept of a "good patriot" is folded into the group's everyday activities and presented to Russia's broader youth population as a desirable attribute. It finds that youth indoctrination continues to be a policy of the Putin regime and that the youth groups are vital to the state's efforts, as they not only allow the state to shape youth consciousness, but also enable youth to shape the minds of their peers.

Drawing on original evidence from the Varieties of Indoctrination dataset, this article reviews changes in the politicization of school education in Russia between 1945 and 2021. It also puts Russia in comparative perspective, comparing Russia's indoctrination efforts and content to those of other non-democratic regimes. The evidence suggests that although Putin has insisted that students learn patriotic values in school ever since first coming to power in the early 2000s, his initial efforts at education reform had limited success. The annexation of Crimea in 2014 coincided with renewed investments in patriotic education and a clampdown on freedom of expression in the classroom. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The documentary "Israelism" explores the relationship between American Jews and the state of Israel, challenging the pro-Israel indoctrination that many have experienced. The film follows two young American Jews who were educated in institutions that equated Judaism with support for Israel.

The documentary also examines how Jewish institutions conflate criticism of Israel with antisemitism, compromising the safety of Jews in the United States. While the film could have provided a more thorough examination of the history of the Israeli colonial project, it serves as a conversation starter and showcases a growing community of progressive Jews against Israel who have the potential to enact change.

The CCP under Xi Jinping's leadership has launched the most sustained and comprehensive program of ideological indoctrination in the post-Mao era. By issuing new rules and revising old ones on ideological education in the party, propaganda work, education, and patriotic education, the party apparently seeks to use ideological indoctrination to strengthen Xi's personal authority, demand strict political loyalty from its officials and members, tighten control in the mass media and on college campuses, and mobilize nationalistic support from the public. Although the program is being implemented through administrative measures, its reliance on coercion and material incentives belie the challenge facing the party to carry out ideological indoctrination in a highly materialistic society. This program reflects the regime's insecurity about the erosion of its members' ideological commitment and political loyalty. The backwardlooking nature of the party's program of ideological indoctrination is symptomatic of its poverty of ideas, even as the party struggles to project a forward-looking vision. The outcome of this program is likely to be political ritualization and feigned loyalty that are more common in a regime in decay than in a regime undergoing reinvigoration. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Chinese leader Xi Jinping has been attempting to transform the Chinese Communist Party into an ideologically committed, organizationally disciplined, and politically loyal regime. His efforts include enforcing strict discipline and curtailing the perks of officials. This attempt appears to be unpopular among the party's rank and file and has encountered various forms of resistance. Resourceful local officials have attempted to protect their interests and resist the leadership's efforts to strip them of the perks and benefits that until now they have taken for granted. Their passive resistance appears to be a serious obstacle to the realization of Xi's ambitious vision. Ironically, many of Xi's own policies, such as emphasizing ideological indoctrination and suppressing civil society, have made it more difficult to combat the subterfuge by local officials. The party's top-down approach is unlikely to succeed in converting ideologically cynical CCP officials into true believers, while local officials have no feasible means of forcing the top leadership to change course. This political stalemate is likely to continue. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Since assuming power in late 2012 and especially since the conclusion of the Nineteenth Party Congress in October 2017, Chinese leader Xi Jinping has made significant progress in implementing a systematic program to rewrite the rules of the Chinese Communist Party. These changes are designed to augment Xi's personal authority, centralize decision-making power, tighten the party's organizational discipline and procedures, extend CCP control over state and society, and intensify ideological indoctrination. Even though Xi has achieved indisputable success in revising and promulgating nearly all important CCP rules, it remains unclear whether such changes in the rules have been fully accepted as legitimate and binding by the CCP's rank-and-file. Nor should we take at face value as a settled reality the assertion of Xi's supremacy in practically every revised or newly issued CCP rule book. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
