A physical education teacher from the village of Kosulino in Sverdlovsk Oblast, Pavel Kudrin, made a ninth-grader kneel and struck him on the back during an “Important Conversations” class, Yekaterina Mizulina reported. According to the class monitor, the student and his friends had been insulting the teacher and disrupting classes. The teacher himself told Yekaterinburg’s Channel Four that the class had staged a provocation against him, instigated by members of “Yunarmiya”. The prosecutor’s office is conducting an investigation. Following the incident, the teacher decided to resign.
