This includes Russian courts, the tax system, documents, educational programs, and law enforcement agencies.<\/p>\n<p>The article notes that Russian passports are now required to receive pensions, employment, government benefits, and education. At the same time, Russia uses passporting for military registration of men aged 18 to 65.<\/p>\n<p>A separate direction is the seizure of Ukrainian real estate. Since 2024, the Russian authorities have confiscated or designated for confiscation at least 34 thousand objects belonging to Ukrainian citizens.<\/p>\n<p>Moscow is also changing the education system in the occupied territories. They are introducing Russian programs in schools, restricting the use of the Ukrainian language, and expanding military-patriotic education for children.<\/p>\n<p>The authors note that Russia is also rebuilding the infrastructure of the occupied territories for its own military and economic needs. In particular, this includes developing railways and ports, as well as using local industrial enterprises for Russian defence production.<\/p>\n<p>According to the authors, the institutions Russia created may complicate the restoration of Ukrainian governance even if the occupied territories return to Kyiv&#8217;s control.<\/p>\n<p>By the way, in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine, <a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/rosiia-sviatkuie-okupatsiiu-na-tot-zapustyly-masshtabnu-kampaniiu-do-richnytsi-referendumiv\/\">Russia has launched a large-scale information campaign on the anniversary of the illegal <\/a>pseudo-referendums.\u00a0Kremlin-controlled media are trying to present the occupation as a \u201choliday\u201d and a period of supposedly large-scale positive changes.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, <a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/rf-nav-iazuie-ditiam-na-okupovanykh-terytoriiakh-spotvorenu-istoriiu-ukrainy-tspd\/\">Russia imposes a distorted version of Ukrainian history on children in the occupied territories<\/a>.
