The organizers insist the camp is about teamwork and not about patriotism or preparing
a new generation to fight for russia patriotism is important to me as the law for your home country when she had become but also plays a role if you have the feeling already develops here its impossible not to be patriotic here.

Descent had ever were not there yet theres still a lot of injustice we have to deal with and i think this is a wonderful way of doing that.
