It turns out that serving in the Russian army is part of the Chuvash traditions

This opinion sounded at a press conference from the organizers of celebrating the Uyav – the Chuvash holiday of the end of spring field work. Since this year in the Russian Federation has been declared the year of the family, Uyav will be combined with “family traditions,” although in fact this holiday is exclusively for young people and for young people to get to know each other, and not about raising children. The event promises to show all stages of family development: wedding, birth of a child, SEEING OFF a grown-up CHILD TO THE ARMY, creation of his own family, etc. What kind of army will they show there? Of course, not the Chuvash one.

How did the Chuvash live centuries before without the Russian occupation army and did not know that sending children there was a Chuvash tradition?
