The Russian Ministry of Science and Higher Education has refused to support the scandalous program to train psychologists to work with veterans of military operations in Ukraine. The newspaper reports this “Kommersant”.
The publication’s source at the ministry said that the official who sent this program to universities has already been dismissed.
According to him, the Ministry of Education and Science is already working to create another program, but this will “take quite a bit of time.”
Last week, a new university discipline “Spiritual Security of Personality and Traditional Russian Spiritual and Moral Values” was published in the database of the Federal State Educational Standards of Higher Education (FSES).
The document described 71 hours of lectures, lasting only one hour, on “traditional values” and “mental wars waged by unfriendly countries against every citizen of the Russian Federation” and the psychological consequences of “moral or immoral behavior in war.” It was stated that there were no experts in the Defenders of the Fatherland state fund, so it wanted to attract the attention of “psychologists-energy therapists”, astrologers and “psychologists-tarot readers”.
Putin before offered We make it mandatory for those returning from military operations to work with a psychologist.
