A teenager from Nizhnekamsk, who attacked a cleaner with a knife, has been transferred to a special school.

      A teenager from Nizhnekamsk, who attacked a cleaner with a knife, has been transferred to a special school for three years. This was reported at a press conference by Roman Mukhametzyanov, Deputy Head of the Center for Countering Extremism of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Tatarstan, during a discussion on measures to prevent the involvement of adolescents and youth in diversionary-terrorist activities. "A criminal case was initiated against him for attempted murder, but it was terminated on non-rehabilitating grounds, namely due to the failure to reach the age of criminal responsibility. He has been placed in a closed-type educational institution for a period of three years," said Roman Mukhametzyanov. He added that most of those detained are, to some extent, victims themselves. "They talk about their peers who bully them and the constant harassment that led them to commit the crime. Some mention problems in their relationships with parents – none of the detainees shared their problems with them, citing a lack of understanding. Unable to find effective means of protection and support, these young people turned to the internet, where they found like-minded individuals on resources promoting Columbine*," he added. Earlier, "Tatar-inform" reported that in the morning at Lyceum No. 37 in Nizhnekamsk, a 13-year-old student attacked a cleaner with a knife and injured her hand. The mayor reported that the teenager, a 7th-grade student, was promptly detained by police and Rosgvardiya officers.

      *By the decision of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation dated February 2, 2022, the International Youth Movement Columbine has been recognized as a terrorist organization. Its activities are prohibited in the territory of the Russian Federation.
