The Permanent Representative&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">drew the expert\u2019s attention to the ongoing militarization and indoctrination of children and youth, including through children&#8217;s camps and paramilitary organizations such as \u00abMovement of the First\u00bb and \u00abYunarmiya\u00bb, which are also tools for the dissemination of propaganda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cCrimea lacks educational and cultural programs that would normally support children\u2019s development through learning and creativity. Instead, so-called cultural events, often of a militaristic nature, are organized to mark dates or events significant to Russian propaganda. For example, riding a tank replica in a park is offered as a way to entertain children. There are no other alternative activities in which children can participate.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Olha Kuryshko also highlighted the involvement of the Russian Orthodox Church in the organization of such \u201ccultural\u201d activities, as well as the ongoing marginalization of the Ukrainian and Crimean Tatar languages at educational institutions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>The OSCE Moscow Mechanism is a special investigative procedure, established by the OSCE in 1991 that provides for deploying independent international missions of experts to investigate severe human rights violations, war crimes, and threats to democracy within any OSCE member state, even without the consent of the state being investigated.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":88631,"template":"","publication-type":[43],"class_list":["post-88880","press-center","type-press-center","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","publication-type-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Experts of the OSCE Moscow Mechanism visited the Mission - Mission of the President of Ukraine in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/ppu.gov.ua\/en\/press-center\/experts-of-the-osce-moscow-mechanism-visited-the-mission\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Experts of the OSCE Moscow Mechanism visited the Mission - Mission of the President of Ukraine in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"On June 8, Permanent Representative Olha Kuryshko met with experts of the OSCE Moscow Mechanism Herve Eric Ascensio, Elina Steinerte and Stefan Wolff.
