The first textbook for the new subject, called The Russian Army in Defence of the Fatherland, has been produced by leading Russian education publisher Enlightenment. Among its authors are two senior figures who work for the defence ministry and Kremlin newspaper Rossiiskaya Gazeta.

Its 368 pages are filled with stories describing the "heroic achievements of Russian soldiers" from the 13th Century to the present day.

In fairness to that poster though, the article text is in the body of the post, so a translation error was ported over to Lemmy. This has nothing to do with “read past the headline”; they did read past the headline but the article body was wrong when transposed.

No need to be snarky; it’s not the poster’s fault that there was an error at source.

Edit - For context, the above comment is not what I was responding to. I don’t know if the above user has edited their comments, or if a Lemmy bug means I saw some old comment, but the comment I was responding to was belittle the poster for not “reading past the headline”.
