Teacher’s Day – celebrated in Russia on September 1 – is one occasion which officials hope to target online.
‘Children will willingly [use the hashtags] to congratulate their teachers,’ the Education Ministry press service told the Russian tabloid Izvestia.
The move follows last week’s protests in Russia where thousands – including many younger people – marched against President Vladimir Putin.
It was the biggest show of defiance since a 2011-2012 wave of demonstrations rattled the Kremlin and led to harsh new laws aimed at suppressing dissent.
Police estimated the Moscow crowd at about 7,000, but it could have been larger. The one-hectare (2.5-acre) Pushkin Square was densely crowded as were sidewalks on adjacent Tverskaya Street.
In St. Petersburg, about 5,000 protesters assembled in the Mars Field park, shouting slogans including ‘Putin resign!’ and ‘Down with the thieves in the Kremlin!’
