Russian Father Won’t Punish 11-Year-old Daughter for Anti-War Drawing
An 11-year girl being raised by her father is now living in a Russian orphanage because a disgusting and cowardly art teacher at her school betrayed the trust children put in their educators and called the police when she made an anti-war drawing.
The little girl’s father was arrested for failing to punish his daughter and the FSB told him he was a bad parent despite that he has been raising Masha alone since his wife abandoned them when Masha was only three years old.
The art assignment
Last April, the art teacher asked her children to make drawings in support of Russia’s troops. Mash Moskaleva depicted a Ukrainian mom holding her child’s hand while missiles soared to Ukraine from Russia. The mom has her hand up as if to stop the missiles.
Masha then wrote on the Russian flag the words “no to war,” and on the Ukrainian flag, “Glory to Ukraine.” Masha is Russian and, as her father explained to the police and the FSB, she is not against Russia but against war and violence.
“[After that], the teacher ran to the [school] director, who called the police,” Alexey recounted.
