In Balakovo (Saratov region), a student of school No. 26 was summoned to the director because he published posts in the social network in support of Alexei Navalny.
The student recorded the conversation on a dictaphone, later the recording was published in the Navalny Team | Balakovo group on Vkontakte. It lasts about 40 minutes. While listening, you can make out that in addition to the director, a teacher participated in the conversation (judging by the recording, the woman's name is Larisa Alexandrovna).
She told the director that there was “nothing wrong with the student’s posts, there are no obscenities, but campaigning is underway.” But after that, the teacher makes a reservation, adding that she didn’t read the student’s publications, because “as soon as I see the word Navalny, I immediately close it.”
In addition, the teacher added that a student cannot participate in any political movement until he passes the exam and receives a certificate. The woman explained this by the fact that because of this, “very such consequences” could await her:
“Because this “Contact” is being checked to such an extent. I don't even know what will happen to me. I will be reprimanded, plans are falling apart. I have my plans for life. And I don't want to be on the hook of the FSB. I ugh, ugh, ugh, I’ve never dealt [with special services] anywhere.”
During the conversation, the school principal told the student about countering extremism, in particular, that an “Internet team” had already arrived at the school on another matter. The teachers also stated that the special services would definitely be interested in the student if he continued to support the opposition politician and write similar texts on the Internet.
At the end of the dialogue, the director asked the student not to publish any more posts.
The Navalny Team | Balakovo group reports that this is far from the first case of such a reaction from educational institutions. Headquarters activists claim that after the publication of the record, students from almost all schools in the city turned to them - they are also called to the director because of Navalny's support.
