Filling the role of a practice military organization for children, Yunarmiya’s recruits swore themselves in when joining in 2019. The text of the original Yunarmiya oath has been removed from its website, but a shortened version from the Ministry of Defense’s website reads:
“I swear to strive for victories in education and sports, to lead a healthy lifestyle, to prepare myself for service and creation for the benefit of the Fatherland, to honor the memory of the heroes who fought for the freedom and independence of our country, to be a patriot and a worthy citizen of Russia."
