Historically, it's a pretty common way to wipe out a culture/people. Take the children of the unwanted culture and place them in homes of the desired culture to assimilate them and ultimately purge remnants of the unwanted culture. Canada/US/Australia did it to indigenous people, and Soviet Russia did it to a lot of cultural groups. They would also commonly execute local community leaders and replace them with Russians to solidify their hold on the territories they gained.
Russia is just trying to assimilate Ukrainians into Russia and make it really, really difficult to ever disentangle them for generations to come.

It's gruesome. Just to add to yours: It happens in the millions right about NOW this day alone to thousands of children in China. It's so normal now that nobody talks about it. Tibetan and Uighur children are basically every day shipped to "schools" to become real HAN humans. Everything else is garbage in the eyes of the CCP GOD XI.

The Rez schools were happening until very recently in Canada, and to this day despite the country’s fantastic PR, the indigenous in my country are still largely discriminated against, to the point they still to this day get turned away from hospitals in some places.
Also we have The Highway of Tears where indigenous women are murdered with depressing regularity.
And the worst part is I had to learn all this on my own, since they don’t teach us that.

I think the Sixties Scoop might be what OP was referring to, but it was all part and parcel of the great injustice done to indigenous people in Canada.

>The Sixties Scoop was a period in which a series of policies were enacted in Canada that enabled child welfare authorities to take, or "scoop up," Indigenous children from their families and communities for placement in foster homes, from which they would be adopted by white families. Despite its name referencing the 1960s, the Sixties Scoop began in the mid-to-late 1950s and persisted into the 1980s. It is estimated that a total of 20,000 Indigenous children were taken from their families and fostered or adopted out primarily to white middle-class families as part of the Sixties Scoop.

The entire history of Muscovy -> Russia -> SU is basically a litany of the worst aspects of imperialism. Russian history is an unending line of forgotten genocides and atrocities.

The US is still doing it, ICWA is under fire because a Christian family is trying to adopt a native child because they feel called by God to spiritual save children and bring them to the church - which is exactly what ICWA was designed to stop.

Nearly everything Russia has done to Ukraine has been serious attempts to commit genocide. Taking the children of a people is a literal textbook piece (a pillar, if you will) of genocide.
MyDarlingArmadillo t1_j95gglk wrote
Yes, it is. It's not just a land grab for them. It's not a war over resources or anything like that. They're attempting genocide.

... and wish to erase Ukrainian culture and language off the face of the earth - hence the focus on murdering teachers, & destroying libraries and books: E.g. now destroying all Ukrainian language books in Mariupol

Typical Russian stuff, just ask their neighbors who have had to deal with Russia's bullshit for centuries.

The Nazis did exactly the same in Poland and elsewhere. Genocide.

Add it to the long list of war crimes.
TangoJager t1_j95jgx8 wrote
Legally, it's genocide, not a war crime.
War crimes are violations of the rules of armed conflict, while genocides are attacks upon a group of people through violence (killing, child abducting) or biological means (birth control, etc) with the specific intent to eradicate said group.
The two concepts must be distinguished or else peacetime genocides could not be prosecuted. They usually still incur the same penalty.

We are talking about Russia. The only thing that surpasses their stupidity is their acceptance for evil.

Franco, the dictator of Spain, did the same thing to progressives. The regime was stealing children to give it to "good fascist families".

Would you rather them leave the kids unattended in the middle of a warzone?

No, I'd rather the f***ing Russians not kidnap Ukranian children and send them to Russia.
