Throwing out of the side

Russian universities are reducing the school year so that students can ahead of schedule in the spring of 2018. Police and fighters of the Russian Guard will be populated into their rooms during the World Cup, Kommersant reports .

University students will fall under the eviction in at least four cities: Yekaterinburg, Nizhny Novgorod, Samara and Saransk, said in the Russian Student Union. The RSC turned to the Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev with a request not to evict students and not to change the terms of study. “In addition, this will deprive students of the opportunity to attend the World Cup, because the cost of renting housing during the event will be much higher,” said the head of the RSC Vasily Mikhailov.

The decision to evict students to accommodate law enforcement officials during the championship was adopted in May 2017. This follows from the response of the Ministry of Education of the Sverdlovsk Region to the request of the regional deputy Alexander Ivachev. The document states that the hostels will be transferred to the police and the Russian Guard from May 14 to July 28, 2018.

The vice -rector of the Samara State University of Railways on educational work Maxim Garanin said that classes at the university will be completed by May 1, but the next session for students will be held in August. The curriculum will also be compacted by the Nizhny Novgorod State Medical Academy.

At the Nizhny Novgorod State University named after Lobachevsky, one of the eight hostels will be given to the Rosguard, but they will not change the schedule of classes. Students will be sent to other hostels or relatives. Nizhny Novgorod State Technical University will evict more than 2 thousand students during the 2018 World Cup.

In mid-June, Human Rights Watch published a report on violations of workers' rights in the construction of facilities to the 2018 World Cup, as well as to the Confederations Cup of this year. The investigation reported violations in the construction of six stadiums. It was about non -payment, a multi -month delay in payment or incomplete payment of salaries, work at a temperature of up to −25 ° C without ensuring special protection measures, hiring without employment contracts or the failure of these contracts on hand.

As noted, the International Trade Union - the International of Construction and Woodwork workers - recorded 17 cases of production injuries with death on the construction of stadiums for the stadium for the world. It was also reported about repeated strikes by workers on a number of facilities.

In August, eight US senators sent FIFA President Gianni Infantino a letter calling for messages about the operation of Russia of North Korean workers in the construction of facilities for the 2018 World Cup. Senators expressed disappointment with a decision of FIFA to conduct a mundial in a "country that so frankly violates international norms." They insist that Infantino canceled this decision if an independent investigation confirms the truth of reports on the involvement of the Russian authorities or the Russian Olympic Committee to use the forced labor of the North Koreans.
