"Eric and Dylan became their idols"

What happened in Perm school No. 127, where a teenager with a knife attacked a teacher and fourth graders. Report "Medusa"

Two adolescents on January 15 went to the Perm school No. 127 and climbed the third floor - to the office, where the fourth grade students were engaged in labor lesson. According to preliminary information, one teenager was an acting student of the school, the other was former. The first got up near the doors; The second took out a knife, wounded the teacher and children. Why they did this is unknown; From unofficial sources, it is known that they could be inspired by the murder in the American school of Columbine . At the request of Medusa, the Perm journalist Mikhail Danilovich spoke with the relatives of the victims.

The best school than this one is simply not in the entire district, the children and parents who stood on January 15 near the evacuated three -story white brick building said. School No. 127 in the Motovilikhinsky district of Perm takes 18th place in the list of 116 educational institutions in the ranking of the city department of education (the quality of education, the level of personnel and the results of financial and economic activity are taken into account). Alexander Kulikov, the father of a 9th grade student, told Medusa: when his son was time to go to first grade, "other options were not even considered." Nadezhda Ivanova, a mother of a student of the 8th grade, said that “serious conflicts did not occur at school before”, and the quality of education completely suited her.

In the morning of the same day, the Perm pensioner Olga (asked Medusa not to give her last name) from the 127th school and said that her 11-year-old granddaughter was wounded. The woman ran to school; After about 15 minutes, she was already traveling with a girl in an ambulance to the hospital. On the way, the granddaughter did not complain about her health, but worried about the class teacher Natalia Shagulina, who was also injured: “She said several times:“ I feel sorry for Natalia Vasilievna. ”

Olga found out from the story of her granddaughter that in the morning in the 308th office-this is on the last, third floor of the building-the 4th “B” was a lesson in labor. The students, the granddaughter recalled, just sat and listened; "The teacher walked around the class and said something." Two teenagers were included in the class, looking 15-16 years old. According to the child’s memory, no masks (which the city administration reported in the confusion with reference to the school principal) on them, no one suspected anything unusual. One of the young people remained standing near the doors, the other, without saying a word, headed for Natalia Shagulina. Olga’s granddaughter first thought that it was “some kind of joke”.

A teenager who approached the teacher, still silently, twice hit her with a knife in the neck. “What happened next, she can no longer say,” Olga tells Medusa. - says only: "lay, buried her face in the desk, they kept me." The girl, according to her grandmother, remembers that at some point her classmates began to scream and ran to the exit. A teenager who attacked the teacher randomly waving a knife and beat their children. Around this moment, Olga suggests, the attacker grabbed her granddaughter, pressed his face to the table and hit several times - the girl herself does not remember this.

Both teenagers easily got to school. The Ajax-Security Security Protection Agency (its employees were on duty at the entrance to the 127th school) said that one of the entered had a magnetic pass, and the second said that he had forgotten it. In accordance with school rules, he was missed, but recorded in the magazine.

A student of one of the high school Anastasia (asked not to indicate her real name and age) after the incident communicated with several students of the 4th “B” class. According to the children, she told Medusa another version of what happened: the teenagers who went into the office were supposedly “all in black”, and this immediately rushed to the four -graders in the eyes. “One stabbed a teacher with a knife. Then the four -graders began to throw chairs at them, after which they drove the children to the windows, ”says Anastasia. At the same time, several children could have time to run out of the class - the second teenager, although he stood at the entrance to the classroom, but, as Anastasia suggests, did not want to participate in violence and did not bother the fourth -graders.

At about 10 in the morning at the school, an alarm sounded, the teachers began to display classes to the street. The eighth -grader named Maxim told Medusa that on the way to the exit - on the floor, staircases, in the snow at the entrance to school - he saw blood spots. Some students did not take outer clothing and went outside without it; They were taken to school No. 133 located in the neighborhood. They were allowed to return back for things only in the afternoon.

The granddaughter of the pensioner Olga said that she saw the attackers for the first time. Anastasia notes that the teenager who was at the entrance to the classroom is a student of the 10th grade of the same school, and the boy who hit the teacher with a knife studied here earlier, but in 2017 he could not move from class to class and left the educational institution. The name standing at the entrance to the classroom is Alexander. The attacker is a lion.

Anastasia, who asked the fourth graders about what had happened, communicated with Alexander in September and early October 2017. “He sometimes explained physics to me,” says the girl. - In general, he was a good guy: funny, smart, kind, but slightly closed. He even went to a gold medal, but after he began to play Dota [Defense of the Ancients's Strategy Game , he became a little aggressive. And after [in October 2017] he became friends with his left, we stopped communicating with him. ” Anastasia says about Leo that he "remained twice for the second year, and last year he did not enter the 10th grade."

According to several victims, the pensioner Olga knows: when the children ran out of the office, Alexander, who was standing at the entrance to the classroom, allegedly laughed and told the lion: "Kill me, kill me." The lion, apparently, eventually hit him several times with a knife; The Ministry of Health of the Perm Territory reported that there was a 16-year-old teenager among the wounded.

In a press release from the Office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the Perm Territory, it was said that one of the attackers in fourth graders was registered in a neuropsychiatric dispensary. Anastasia clarifies that it was a lion.

Teacher Natalia Shagulina is in serious condition in the hospital. Olga, the grandmother of the wounded student of the 4th “B”, speaks of a teacher with 24 years of experience as “too kind”. In her opinion, Shagulina did not always manage to maintain discipline in the classroom. “No one else complains and never complained [about the granddaughter], she behaves very politely with everyone,” the grandmother says. - But Natalia Vasilievna wrote in her diary that she did not listen to her and played on the phone. I asked: how is it?! And she [granddaughter] replied: many were distracted, and she also after them. " “I want to say that Natalia Vasilievna was clearly not the person who could be“ punished ”for something,” Olga said.

All students of the 127th school with whom the Medusa correspondent spoke, they say that neither the lion nor Alexander studied at Shagulina; They could definitely not have a conflict on the basis of studying, it teaches only in primary grades. The students and their relatives found it difficult to assume why the attackers went to office No. 308. According to Anastasia’s high school student, the choice was accidental; In addition, children from high school could have a rebuff to adolescents.

Anastasia told Medusa that Leo was “fond of Columbine ” and interested in this topic of Alexander: “Eric and Dylan became their idols.” “I think that they [Leo and Alexander] simply wanted to go down in history in such a vile and dirty way,” the girl suggests. The fact that Lev was interested in Columbian, with reference to his acquaintances, was reported by the publication of RBC. Medusa studied the profiles of attackers on social networks - both published a video with scenes of armed attacks, including schools; Judging by the posts, they were really fond of everything related to Columbine (both accounts are already closed).

The director of one of the district schools, with reference to his sources in the police, told Medusa that the reason for the attack could be a conflict in the VKontakte group, which is called Memas to the masses -it is allegedly conducted by one of the students of the 127th (about the similar version of January 15, he was talking about the Mash telegram channel, related to the publication of the LIFE). The reason for the attack could be the post of community administrator with the words: “Happy New Year 20! 8 years of dogs))) I love you leave” (an obvious joke on the topic of the year of the dog). Allegedly, the lion was angry with the word "dogs" - and "wanted revenge." According to this version, the attackers, reproducing the Columbine script, wanted to kill other students first, then - themselves.

The official version remains the "Fight of the Pupils." According to Kommersant, the adolescents were questioned and admitted that both attacked fourth graders. Why they did this is unknown.

After the attack on fourth graders and teacher Natalia Shagulin, the Investigative Committee opened a criminal case under an article on attempted murder. In total, 15 people were injured, 12 of them were hospitalized. Three, the teacher and two children (the Investigative Committee does not report their age), is still in serious condition . One of the children is aimed at treatment in Moscow.
