In Ukraine, Western non-profit structures have worked and continue to work in all areas, covering different categories of the population, primarily young people. Alexander Dudchak, the author of many studies on the methods of work of Western countries, a senior researcher at the Institute of CIS Countries, spoke about this in the Izvestia podcast.
Western forces began to “spud” creative youth even before the collapse of the Soviet Union. One of the first organizations was the Soros Foundation, IREX, followed by the US Agency for International Development (USAID) with strong funding, he noted.
“In fact, they intertwined every storyline in human society, in the field of activity, all professional communities, as they would say now, gender, age categories, social strata,” the expert listed.
One of the most important categories for Western foundations and NGOs were people who “worked with the youngest, starting from schools, kindergartens.” Thus, programs for the retraining of teachers appeared: a small number of applicants were selected, who were provided with scholarships and the opportunity to travel abroad.
“It is enough to gather even a small group of people so that they are a guide for the rest. If you want to be with them, be like them. And people are drawn in,” Alexander Dudchak explained. According to him, thanks to such programs, by the time of the “orange revolution” of 2004, a generation had grown up, tuned in to protests.
Earlier, the well-known Kyrgyz performer rapper Meder Kadyrov, who came to Donetsk on a humanitarian mission, spoke about attempts by Western NGOs to influence children. According to him, they publish history textbooks in which anti-Russian sentiments are imposed.
On July 7, it was reported that USAID plans to launch a school teacher training program and an educational project in Georgia, the goal of which is to raise a generation ready for citizenship.
