In a school located in the Tyumen region, a participant in the special military operation spoke to third-year students, though the moment was marked by inappropriate symbols on his uniform. The events were reported as part of a broader set of disclosures regarding the visit, which had been organized under a campaign celebrating historical victories. One of the soldiers wore a baseball cap bearing an explicit inscription, while another wore a uniform stripe and a depiction of Joseph Stalin, accompanied by a crude phrase. The scene drew immediate attention for the language and imagery displayed, which contrasted sharply with the setting of a school classroom and the expectations held by many for respectful conduct.
The meeting with the third-year students was described by school officials as something that happened without the principal’s awareness. The school’s administration noted that the participants had previously studied there and had completed their high school education several years earlier, choosing to return to connect with their former classroom teacher. This detail underscored a sense of surprise among staff and students alike, raising questions about how such visits are coordinated and who approves them in the first place.
The school director condemned the use of such insignia and language on military attire and pledged to conduct a thorough review of the episode. The response emphasized the importance of maintaining a respectful educational environment and ensuring that any future visits align with school policies and values. Administrators stated they would investigate the matter fully to determine accountability and to prevent a recurrence of similar incidents.
On a related note, a bill was presented in the State Duma aimed at prioritizing enrollment for the children of those serving in the special military operation. The proposal seeks to give these families first consideration for admission to schools, kindergartens, and health camps, reflecting ongoing policy efforts to support service members and their families. The move has sparked discussion about access, fairness, and how educational systems can respond to the needs of all contemporary families amid national security challenges.
