A New Breed Of Russian Cadet

At the Moscow State Girls Boarding School, young women learn hand-to-hand combat, target shooting, and military discipline – and all in time to change into ball gowns for an evening dance with the male cadets across the street. RFE/RL’s Moscow bureau visited the school to learn what goes into training a new generation of Russian officers.

It's nice that these kids have an opportunity to learn some discipline and self respect. But, the "gender" based training seems a bit sexist. However, I have seen young Russian girls act subservient to their male counterparts; and a young Russian male once tried to convince me that women have smaller brains than men... according to what he learned in school back in Moscow, they have brains smaller than dogs; These were Russian students that were visiting the U.S. two years ago. I hope they were corrupted beyond repair by our western ways.
