A major scandal broke out in Kaliningrad on ethnic grounds.
Thunder broke out at school No. 7 in Kaliningrad, the oldest in the Russian region (the seventh school is the same age as the Kaliningrad region, it accepted its first students on October 6, 1946). Parents of first-graders told reporters that this year a third of students do not speak Russian at all. We are talking about schoolchildren of Uzbek nationality. It turned out that out of 19 first-graders, six do not know Russian.
At a parent-teacher meeting, the director of the seventh school, Lyudmila Volvach, according to parents, suggested that dissatisfied families "look for another school or start learning Uzbek."
"She said that the presence of children who do not understand the Russian language in the classroom is an excellent incentive to study Uzbek culture," the Ridovka resource reports.
At the same time, the father of one of the Uzbek children actually began to write threats in personal messages to the mother, who was the first to sound the alarm in the school chat. For example, such (spelling and punctuation are preserved):
"We know the laws of the Russian Federation, my lawyer will contact you personally about this. I don't blame anyone, it's just that your words on the radio chat are too rude."
The Investigative Committee took up the situation.
"Chairman The IC of Russia has been instructed by the acting head of the IC SU Russia in the Kaliningrad region to Kozyretsky E.N. to organize an inspection and submit a report on the established circumstances," the TFR telegram channel reports.
There are already the first conclusions based on primary information: admission to an educational institution of children without knowledge of the Russian language violates the rights of students and educational norms.
EADaily adds that in 2014 secondary school No. 7 in Kaliningrad was named after Lieutenant Colonel Jan Bulakhov, who died heroically in Chechnya in 2002 while performing military duty.
