This article is a little weirdly structured, like yeah the traditional values indoctrination is cringe, they say that they saw this in a bunch of schools October 14-21 and that it was mostly non-military stuff
However, most of the reports reviewed by 7x7 focused on topics unrelated to politics or the war. Lessons were also held in connection with Father’s Day and Bread Day, and several kindergartens discussed what it means to be an adult.
Part of the reason theyre having soldiers in and related activities around 10/22 is that its white crane day, which is a day when WW2 fallen get remembered, and part of the reason for the veteran reading poems is because the holiday itself is named after a poem.
they only mention in the article that it was a poem about the SMO, but on the linked VK post they say that it was poems that he had written about exploits of people in the great patriotic war, and the SMO. the actually noteworthy thing for Western readers I think is the way that they’re being tied together, for a lot of Russians the framing that one is a continuation of the other lands.

What’s this Bread Day about? I’m from here and for all my years I haven’t heard about it, and the Father’s day isn’t mentioned anywhere (sadly) and is not celebrated at all. They picked what they saw closest in the calendar to invite soldiers and use it as an angle of pressure their fathers and older siblings, making kids ask: why are you not on the war? Is daddy\bro a coward like that soldier told me? That’s said, it’s probably not that thought through and gets done just to tick boxes in the reports and probably get some coverage\funding to said kindergardens.
The holiday was established in 2006 on the initiative of the International Union of Bakers and Pastry Chefs. And the choice of date is due to the fact that on October 16, 1945, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations was created, which dealt with the problems of developing agriculture and its production. Incidentally, another holiday is also timed to coincide with this event - World Food Day.

Thanks for supplying me with further info. Yeah, it’s very young and doesn’t have it’s roots in paegan traditions like Масленица that is widely celebrated. So, probably, it doesn’t exist for anyone except these orgs.
