Kremlin-funded propaganda film shows Ukrainian children ‘learning to love’ life in Russia

Russia has released a propaganda documentary titled “SVOi Deti” (“Our Special Military Operation Children”). It tells the story of Ukrainian children taken to Russian recreational camps as part of a youth program called “Poslezavtra” (The Day After Tomorrow) for what Moscow calls ”integration sessions.” Both were produced by Russia’s children’s rights commissioner, Maria Lvova-Belova, who faces an arrest warrant from the International Criminal Court for her role in the illegal deportation of Ukrainian children from occupied territories. Officials in Kyiv, independent researchers, and journalists believe that programs like “Poslezavtra” are designed to indoctrinate and re-educate Ukrainian children. The film premiered on May 26, 2026, at the Gorky Film Studio, according to a post on Lvova-Belova’s Telegram channel. Three days later, it was released on the Okko streaming platform. Here’s what we know about the movie and its creators.
