A psychotherapist described how Ukrainian intelligence services recruit children.
"The 'game of understanding' as a method of recruiting children. Psychotherapist Farida Volgina spoke about what psychological techniques Ukrainian special services use when recruiting children. In an interview in the documentary film by GTRK 'Tatarstan' and the FSB Directorate for the Republic of Tatarstan, the doctor named three main methods of manipulating minors. One of the most common is playing on emotions and on 'understanding.'
'If there is no emotional connection with the children in the family. If no one talks to them at home, does not learn about their problems. And in correspondence there is a purported understanding, a sharing of interests — and manipulation begins,' says Farida Volgina.
Another psychological technique is money, material reward.
'It is easier for Ukrainian special services to work with children from disadvantaged families, where children want to earn easily and quickly,' the physician emphasizes.
And the third reason the psychotherapist names is children’s desire for adventure. Some tasks are presented by recruiters as a spy game; curiosity and the desire to stand out push children toward such crimes.
