"We should give up or what?"

Why did the psychologist who arrived at the place of the tragedy in the village of Strugi Rednye could not talk with children in a besieged house

Katya and Denis studied in the 9th grade of the Pskov school No. 24, met 7 months and openly talked about their relations on social networks. On November 9, Denis published VKontakte: “He did not expect this from you. He always believed you. I loved, love and I will love ”( spelling and punctuation of the author are preserved. - L. S. ). Later, the children (having made peace?) We decided to leave the house together.

As the girl wrote, the main reason for leaving was a difficult relationship with her mother: she objected to late walks (after 21.00) and overnight stays outside the house. Katya also talked about the beatings.

Denis, before leaving the house, left VKontakte a farewell letter, which Katya also duplicated. “I loved you, but you yourself did not notice how you destroyed my psyche and life,” the boy wrote. - Farewell to all friends, family, and acquaintances. Do not worry, I will leave beautifully. Good luck to everyone in your life and please, do not be afraid to live as you want or consider it necessary. Life for its pleasure is the best life. I love you ” (spelling and punctuation of the author are preserved. - L. S. ).

Before leaving the house, Denis and Katya, as is now known from social networks, asked their parents not to write a statement to the police and threatened that otherwise it "would only get worse."

The teenagers “lived calmly together in the country” for three whole days, and in the afternoon of November 14, employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in the Pskov region, having received a statement from parents about the loss of adolescents and aiming about their approximate locations, left for the Reds in the chips.

The house that the escaped teenagers chose for living belonged to Katya's stepfather. The construction was engaged in his father, military and hunter V. Vlasov. It was Vlasov, probably, belonged to the weapon that the guys found.

The police officers who arrived at the place tried to negotiate with 15-year-old children shooting at them for about two hours. The situation was complicated by the fact that the police had a mouthpiece, while schoolchildren could not shout to them, but, apparently, they did not want to. They answered words with chaotic shooting, the calls of security forces to the mobile phone ignored.

Nevertheless, the dialogue for children was needed. Literally, from the very arrival of the police, they conducted a video broadcast in the Periscope application. During this broadcast, they complained that almost no one was watching them. “We really have tin and *** no one looks.” "Let's make it more than the people look more, there will be more tin." But for the whole time of broadcasting, only a couple of friends, random peers from the network and someone under the nickname Stalin came out to contact them. The media was observed for the broadcast, but for all its time, not a single crisis psychologist was in touch with children in Periscope. The peers called the children “morons”, others asked to show weapons, but adults who would competently conduct a dialogue and try to keep the children from the extreme decision on the network.

Later, unofficial sources said that psychologists were present at the scene, but could not pull the time for a long time: representatives of the Russian Guard chose a power option for resolving the conflict.

Denis and Katya, with fear, were waiting for the appearance of “Sobol” (as in their own way they called the Sobr detachment, who arrived in reinforcement by the police). “It’s very scary when you have only two cartridges left,” Katya said.

“Why are there so few of you?! Vote, should we give up or what? " - The teenagers of subscribers in Periscope asked.

Later, Denis and Katya were informed in the broadcast that they no longer had weapons. At the same time, in one video, Denis says that their weapon was taken from Katya, who participated in the negotiations. “Knives too. So we cannot commit suicide. <...> And as you know, this is not a way out, ”the Mediazone quotes the boy. In another broadcast, teenagers say that they threw the trunks through the window.

Law enforcement agencies diverge in the official version of what happened. “When entering the house, the collection staff discovered an opened safe, in which there was previously a hunting rifle and ammunition, and next to him the body of a girl and a young man with obvious signs of suicide. During the operation, the collection of collections did not open, ”the press service of the North-Western District of the troops of the Russian Guard told TASS.

At the same time, the press service of the Russian Investigative Committee for the Pskov Region does not confirm information on suicide of adolescents. “Before clarifying all the circumstances of the tragedy, it is premature to call it suicide or murder with subsequent suicide,” Anton Dobrokhotov, senior assistant to the media interaction, asked. He also clarified that the investigator with automatic table weapons during the operation with special forces did not pass the installed line. Anton Dobrokhotov did not answer questions about which department he played the investigator and what role he played during the whole operation, referring to the closed nature of the investigation.

According to the “Pskov province” in an unofficial conversation, sources in law enforcement agencies, the events developed as follows: the first to arrive at the place of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs in the Pskov region; After the teenagers fired at them, the police requested reinforcement. Additional outfits arrived at the place consisted of employees of the Russian Guard ( according to the latest changes in the legislation, this body has the right to use weapons in relation to children, pregnant women and disabled people, if they have armed resistance. - L. S. ), they blocked the house around the perimeter. At the same time, the UK reported that the employees of the Russian Guard arrived "for a forceful solution to this issue if necessary." “These are guys who are prepared to enter the home in a specific way and, if necessary, skillfully use weapons. This is their work. These are those who, with a threat to life, can correctly resolve the situation without loss or with minimal losses, ”the source said.

The Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation officially states that "when employees of special forces used light-shum grenades and went to storm, they found teenagers dead, with gunshot wounds." At the same time, the conclusion of experts about the exact form of the charge, with the help of which mortal wounds were caused, at this moment the UK does not have.

Natalia Sokolova, Pskov Commissioner for Child Rights, assessing the situation, called the families prosperous and connected what happened to the "cybersecurity" and access to the Internet. On the eve of the children's Ombudsman, a meeting on the same topic was just held, they talked about the provocations of children's suicides through the Internet.

In our conversation, Sokolova clarified that one of the main causes of the tragedy could be insufficient attention to children by parents. “I can’t tell you whether psychologists came out at the time of the tragedy with children. I know that the class teacher talked with the girl. My task is now: to watch everything, to track, because, unfortunately, in this situation you can’t help children. The main thing is to prevent the possibility of repeating such tragedies in the region. My main task is prevention, ”summarized Natalia Sokolova.

At a meeting with the Pskov governor Andrei Turchak, the Commissioner for the Rights of the Child announced the need to monitor pages of schoolchildren in social networks with class teachers.
