Syrian parents are naming their children after the Russian President as a sign of gratitude, while millions of students, including Bashar Assad’s own children, are learning Russian, Syria’s Ambassador to Moscow Riad Haddad said. “Thanks to the efforts of the Moscow embassy, and with the approval of President Assad, Russian is the second language taught in Syrian schools. We have opened Russian faculties in all of the country’s universities, while children receive tuition from the seventh grade,” said the official, addressing Russia’s upper chamber of parliament, the Federation Council, in Moscow. Russian was first put on the curriculum in government-controlled schools in 2014, and has been prioritized since then. “Making Russian a second language in the country is a gesture of gratitude to the Russian people from Syria,” said Haddad, who has been in his post since the Syrian conflict broke out in 2011.

How?
Europeans, Americans and in general, white people name their children after people from the Bible (John, David, Aaron, Noah, Mark, Rebecca, Joseph, Timothy, Samuel, Ezekiel, Seth, Adam, Elijah, Phillip)

If Syrian parents are actually naming their kids Putin, it's very telling on who the Syrian people view as good and bad in this war.

But that is a lie.
English is the second language, taught from first grade alongside with Arabic.
I think the student can choose, on 7th grade, between Russian and French as a third language.
You are trying to make a narrative out of thin air.
