This is what the 'Russification' of Ukraine's education system looks like in occupied areas
CNN
When masked Russian soldiers ransacked Nina's home in northeastern Ukraine at 6 a.m. one day in late April, they were not searching for weapons. Instead, they were looking for her Ukrainian textbooks.
The troops held her husband and daughter at gunpoint, but the 48-year-old told CNN she knew it was her they'd come for. As a school principal, she believes they saw her as the enemy.
"They were searching everywhere, even the drains and outdoor toilet," she explained. "They found schoolbooks and tutorials for Ukrainian language."
