The prosecutors in the Republic of Tatarstan have moved to file a civil action against Ilnaz Galyaviev, the individual responsible for the armed attack at Kazan gymnasium No. 175, seeking compensation for damages incurred by the educational institution. This information comes from reports published by Tatar-in-form, which cited materials from the prosecutor’s office. The civil claim seeks monetary redress for harm to property and disruption to the school community, reflecting the continuing effort to hold perpetrators accountable beyond criminal sentencing.
The amount of the claim is set at 1.4 million rubles. This figure represents costs related to property repair, security enhancements, and other related expenses that the school district expects to recoup as part of the civil action. Civil lawsuits in cases of violent crime involving educational institutions often accompany criminal penalties, aiming to ensure a fuller financial remedy for victims and institutions harmed by such incidents.
Earlier reports indicated that Ilnaz Galyaviev, the perpetrator of the Kazan school attack, would serve his sentence in IK-6, a penal colony widely known by its nickname Black Dolphin. This facility is located in Sol-Iletsk within the Orenburg region and is recognized for housing some of Russia’s most high-profile inmates. The decision to place a prisoner in this reformatory is part of Russia’s correctional system, which categorizes offenders according to the severity of their crimes and security requirements.
Galyaviev was sentenced to life imprisonment for the 2021 attack, which involved entering a schoolyard carrying weapons and explosives. During the subsequent court proceedings, the convict stated an intention to write a book from within the penal institution and suggested that the proceeds would be used to support the victims of the incident. The case has drawn national and international attention, highlighting ongoing discussions about school safety, criminal responsibility, and the mechanisms available to pursue both punitive and restorative objectives after such acts.
In a separate regional note, reports from Moscow region described a different violent event characterized by a confrontation resulting in fatalities among a group identified as immigrants. While unrelated to the Kazan incident in scope and jurisdiction, these reports contribute to a broader public conversation about violence, security, and the law’s role in addressing traumatic events that affect communities across the country.
