A resolution on safe upbringing and good educational opportunities in Trøndelag was voted through. Among other things, there were two points stating that the Center Party in Trøndelag does not want Russian buses or Russian clothes that represent groupings in the county. – We see several examples that Russian groups and Russian buses can be exclusionary for those who are not allowed to be part of it, says Myhr Sandlund. He continues: – It can break up groups of friends, and it can lead to an outsider for individuals for many years, and we want to crack down on that now. The Minister of Education agrees That the Center Party in Trøndelag wants to crack down on a Russian era which they believe has slipped completely, resonates with Minister of Education Kari Nessa Nordtun. Changing Russian time is a high priority for the Minister of Education. Photo: Eirin Tjoflot / news She says in an e-mail to news: – I am happy about the initiative of the Center Party in Trøndelag. This is completely in line with the signals the government has given. The Russian era has gone too far and is now also having ripple effects for people other than the Russians themselves. We can’t have it that way. Changing Russian time is a high priority for me and the government, but the students themselves must be involved in the changes. That is why I especially appreciate suggestions that come from the young people themselves. Want the Russians on the pitch And there are examples in Trøndelag of schools that have actively done something with exactly Russian clothes. – There is an example from Stjørdal, where Ole Vig the Russian has a common jumper for the whole school. It is an example that can promote community instead of exclusion. We want to see more such examples, says Myhr Sandlund. The Russians at Ole Vig high school in Stjørdal have themselves taken the initiative to order Russian clothes that everyone can join. Photo: Privat Myhr Sandlund is concerned that the focus on Russian time, which can often start right down to secondary school age, should not take the focus away from going to an upper secondary school. – We see that there has been a tradition where the idea is very good, but the commercialization and actual use of Russian time has simply taken too large a part of the everyday life of young people. Want a cultural change – You say you don’t want Russian buses in Trøndelag, but what can you actually do about it? – It’s really more about us as a political party saying that we don’t actually want Russian buses, so it’s more of a position. – But we have no authority to force someone not to buy a bus in their spare time. We cannot do that. But it’s about saying that we no longer want that culture in Trøndelag, says Myhr Sandlund. – But can schools decide that Russians are not allowed to wear clothes with Russian groupings at school? – The question is whether or not it can be included in the rules of order, and that will have to be a political decision later in the spring. I guess I don’t have much faith that we will do anything about it now, and we have to involve other political parties in that as well, he says and continues: – But creating a dialogue about how to create a more inclusive Russian era is the background for us to have made the decisions we have made and taken a stand.
