What sciences were taught to girls in the elite lyceum, said the former director of the "League of Schools" Sergei Bebchuk. "A wonderful literary story"

In January 2017, the Meduza portal shocked the public with the details of the author's investigation by Daniil Turovsky, in which the journalist spoke about numerous facts of harassment by the director of the Moscow school for gifted children "League of Schools" Sergei Bebchuk and head teacher Nikolai Izyumov towards their underage students. And recently, two victims from among the students of the ill-fated school - Tatyana Karsten and Vera Volyak, recorded a video message with a story about what came out at the school.

As if Tatyana Karsten, a former student of school No. 1199, "League of Schools", said in her video message, "slippery" between her and the school director Sergei Bebchuk happened when the young lady was in 9th grade, during the May holidays.

"I was a student of the 9th grade ... and I was preparing for the GIA, including in computer science, ... mathematics and geometry. I did not really prosper in all this, and Bebchuk insisted that ... during the May holidays I I went to his dacha in the village of Bobrovo," Tatyana said in her appeal, specifying that the director regularly called students to his dacha.

According to her, Bebchuk did not have a bathroom in his dacha, all of us, the students, went to the bathhouse to bathe - both boys and girls - went to the bathhouse, wrapped themselves in towels, played some kind of memory game, and then washed.
“Sergey Alexandrovich had the idea to study in the bathhouse. Since the temperature is very high there, the blood liquefies, enters the brain, and it’s more important to think ... I don’t remember how long we were there, quite a long time ... Bebchuk sometimes went in and went out ... On the day when I was alone, he suggested that I again go to the bathhouse, one in his presence. I had no ulterior motives, but I didn’t really like this idea ... I undressed, wrapped myself in a towel , the alphabet to solve problems ... Sergey Alexandrovich entered a few alone, tested what I was doing ... Then he suggested that before washing, treat me with a broom ... I don’t know why I agreed. It dawned on me, only when he said to take off towel. He treated me with a broom. It was easy to understand that I had no clothes on. Subsequently, he helped me put on a towel, sat down next to me, put his arm around me. He said that I was very brainy and beautiful girl. That he has been in love with me for a long time, and that everything will be fine with us," the former student reported.

“From shock, I didn’t know what to do. I had never been in such a situation, so I just sat. He asked me to kiss. I became very scared. something false is happening... I pretended that everything was fine... I was afraid that all this would become famous, the school would be closed, people would suffer because of me. However, after some time, I found out that I was not alone, that there were countless other girls, and things came out with them much worse than with me, "added Tatyana.

Recite in MK: Graduates of the famous "League of Schools" accused the director and deputy of harassment

Actually, about such, more terrible things, her "colleague" in the video message, Vera Volyak, tells.

"When it happened in the first one, I was 14 years old, right... Bebchuk invited me to stay at his house... It's impossible to say that it was petting or petting, kissing or touching, no, it was absolute sex... Before the Bobrovo dacha, there was another dacha in Fomino.There was also a bathhouse, and everyone washed in it... When I arrived there, there were two girls younger - 13-14 years old... She of them did not agree to tell her stories, ... but I know that she retired from school, and she felt bad for a long time ... After these girls left, I was left alone with Bebchuk and Anastasia (Bebchuk's grandmother Anastasia Stanislavovna Loseva - ed.) in this Fomino. There was group sex in Fomino, there were no witnesses, there were three of us there," says Volyak.

There were also several cases with Izyumov. He does not understand the line between a friendly handshake and sexual contact. I saw his answers in an interview, they say, what is it that I stroked someone there? However, if you have a girl sitting on your lap, and you have an erection, and you stroke her breasts, in my opinion, this is far from a handshake. .. I'm not saying that I had sex with him. There was no absolute sex," Vera said.
"They were in a position of power. For us, they were people whom we respected, put on a pedestal," the young lady drove in her "compliant" behavior towards pedophiles.

“I didn’t imagine that all this was going on. For me it was the story of the coffin of the 1990s ... I had absolutely no idea that this was going on with 14-15-year-old girls until now!” - Vera Volak emphasized.

"When you know something like that, you can't remain silent," summed up Tanya Karsten.

investigative committee Russian Federation already started checking after the publication of the article about sexual harassment in the metropolitan educational institution.

Sex scandal in the former Moscow "League of Schools" surfaced: school graduates spoke about violence

More than 20 graduates of the state school "League of Schools" in the Moscow district of Yasenevo reported harassment by its director and his deputy, Meduza reports.

According to former students girls as young as 13 were harassed. As noted, everything lasted 21 years (from the moment the school was founded in 1994 until it closed in 2015). The school was accepted from the 7th grade.

By intcbatch According to the graduates, school director Sergei Bebchuk and his deputy Nikolai Izyumov forced the girls to undress, touched them and had sex with them. ABOUT scandalous story became known thanks to the story of one of the students of the school, who was the first to pluck up the courage and confessed what had happened to the leader theatrical circle this school - Irina Dmitrieva.

The latter, in turn, own investigation and identified about 20 similar cases with already graduates of this school.

As noted, Bebchuk and Izyumov touched schoolgirls, forced them to undress and even forced them to perform sexual acts. These happened on campaigns, camps, in their apartments and even in baths, where they invited girls under the pretext that "the blood liquefies and enters the brain better - therefore it will be better to solve problems." It is also noted that sex took place after school, in the country, in the car.

Moreover, it is alleged that the father of one of the girls tried to ask similar questions about a kiss when greeting and other signs of attention, but no one paid attention to his words, and moreover, they considered it nonsense.

In turn, alumni of the League of Schools, who investigated cases of harassment at school, in 2015 demanded that both leaders resign from their positions and never work in education again. Bebchuk and Izyumov agreed, and the League of Schools closed.

Later it turned out that Bebchuk works at the Intellectual school for gifted children, and Izyumov founded the Intellect Club, which includes several educational circles. The first Meduza has not been contacted, while the second denies the allegations. Moreover, he calls it revenge and a conspiracy against them by offended students.

"One of those who accuse us, herself too ... She took her husband away from another family. Then he cheated on her and went to another. Another sent me her erotic photo session, I still have it. Another [who conducted an investigation against Bebchuk and Izyumov ] tried to seduce me, wrote me letters! I was afraid of her. If I'm such a pedophile, why didn't I take advantage? Now hard times. People's brains are clogged, people buy into any nonsense on the Internet. Another one says that I brought her into the office, climbed under the jacket, told her: "Oh, what a breast." How about a chicken? How could I say so? She is offended by me because I did not let her go to the prom,” said Nikolai Izyumov.

The Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation has already begun checking after the publication of an article about sexual harassment in the capital's educational institution.

"From the message of one of the online publications it follows that for a long time Teaching Staff, including the director of the educational institution, took students to children's camps, where he committed sexual acts against them. According to the author of the article, violations of the sexual freedom and inviolability of children also occurred on the territory of the school.

It is worth noting that the article caused a great resonance on the Web, bloggers wonder why no one knew anything for so many years. They call it at least suspicious. Others are simply afraid for their children.

New Moscow “educational-pedophile” scandal January 23rd, 2017

Graduates of the famous "League of Schools" accused the director and deputy of harassment

"League of Schools" - school No. 1199 in the Yasenevo district in the south-west of Moscow - was conceived as new project for learning. Many called it a school for gifted children. However, as it became known, taught at this school not only basic subjects.

School director Sergei Bebchuk and his deputy Nikolay Izyumov, according to the publication, have been harassing their students for 21 years (since the school was founded). WITHmore than twenty victims are reported to have reported similar incidents. According to a former psychologist"League of Schools" by Ivan Lebedev, there were much more cases.

Ex-director Bebchuk, a graduate of the Faculty of Higher Mathematics and Cybernetics of Moscow State University, began his career as a programmer, taught at the Yasenev school No. 1561, then founded the League of Schools, the fame of which spread throughout the capital thanks to its non-standard approach to learning ("Informal human relations at school have a highly fruitful effect on the educational process,“At school there is only one dogma that sounds paradoxical: “No dogmas”).
His deputy Izyumov, a philosopher by education, nicknamed Mikhalych for his familiarity with his students, in the "League of Schools" led the economy, physical education, extracurricular circles and gave motivational speeches.

Admission to the school was difficult - exams, tests. But there was also an event before the start school year- at the end of August, all beginners went with teachers on a three-week trip to the Crimea. It all started there, the victims told the publication. According to them, in some cases it came to sex.
And, if the director did not allow himself anything extra within the walls of the school, well, except that he put the schoolgirls on their knees, then Izyumov made it a habit to meet the students with a kiss on the school porch every morning.

In 2015 the school was reorganized and closed. Management cited the reasona "greatly narrowed legislative field" that allegedly no longer allowed the school to exist.
However, it became known that the parents of the students, who learned about the harassment of their children, conducted an investigation and demanded that Bebchuk and Izyumov resign. So the "League of Schools" ceased to exist. However pedagogical activity both continued.

Key Ideas

• Cases of informal communication between children and teachers most often occur in closed schools.
• If in a closed group (school, university, etc.) the idea of ​​the peculiarity of the group and the chosenness of students is promoted, this should alert parents.
• It is important to observe changes in the child's condition, to be aware of what is happening, to communicate with different members groups while maintaining distance.
• If a child admits to having been abused, the crime should never be denied: this can further cripple the child.

The elite Moscow school "League of Schools" closed in 2014 due to bureaucratic delays. Two years later, the online publication Meduza published scandalous report Daniil Turovsky, in which this version is refuted. More than 20 former students of the school confessed that for 25 years the director of the school Sergei Bebchuk and his deputy Nikolay Izyumov sexually harassed students. The students gave an ultimatum: close the school or let's go to court.

The report raised a lot of questions. Why did the students only confess two years after the school closed? How could the other teachers be silent when they see what is going on in the school? Some attacked teachers with angry comments on the Web. Others are sure that the reportage is custom-made. Still others refuse to believe that teachers are capable of such things.

“First of all, the League of Schools has always been about a very good education,” she told us. psychologist, gestalt therapist Sonia Zege von Manteuffel. She has worked in this institution for 14 years, since 1999. - The "League" in its internal structure contradicted all the canons of post-Soviet education. In my memory, every year Bebchuk had to defend something - either the absence of diaries, or study trips and all sorts of bureaucratic cases. And every year it became more and more difficult. Therefore, those who now think that the school was closed because of the scandal, you should know: this is a lie. The "League of Schools" was "strangled" by educational reform.

Sergei Bebchuk on the air of Radio Liberty in 2014

As for relationships at school, they were different. Each teacher has their own relationship. Interests, likes. Therefore, hugging, the joy of meeting did not seem perverted and fake to me. As a psychologist, I did not see any sexual overtones in this. When the school lives as a single organism, closer communication between people is inevitable. More informal, confidential. And this was very much appreciated inside and somehow "strange" was perceived from the outside.

Of course, girls fell in love with teachers, not only those mentioned in the article. It is possible that the teachers also fell in love. But I cannot admit that it was for conscious sexual purposes. I am definitely biased, because I actually grew up in this school myself, I came there to work at the age of 26. I know about some stories for educational purposes. I admit that sometimes it is easier for a woman or a girl to show than to inspire morality about their safety.

Directly about the scandal - the story has been going on for about two years. I remember calling students and teachers and collecting "terrible" details. The purpose of this is not to inflate the scandal and "protect children from the horrors of pedophiles." This good target. But where is the evidence? The ultimatum presented to the teachers is similar to blackmail: “You will leave, but we won’t say, so as not to defame the League, promise that you will no longer approach the children ... Ah, come, well, we’ll stop you now ...” The way this information was collected and in what form they were served, it looked like a mass psychosis.

It is now difficult for me to look at the situation as an expert, there are too many attitudes and feelings towards the accused and accusers. I know one thing for sure - that this situation is traumatic for all the people of the League of Schools. And no one canceled the presumption of innocence.”

Sergei Bebchuk does not get in touch. But the deputy director, one of the accused by the students, Nikolai Izyumov, is sure that it is impossible to remain silent in this situation.

Deputy Director of the League of Schools Nikolay Izyumov

"I have firm conviction that this whole situation is fabricated, - Nikolai Izyumov told us. “First of all, we closed the school not because of the allegations. The students came to us with an ultimatum in December 2014. At that time, we were already preparing for the closure, because it became impossible to work. We were pressed by the prosecutors, the FSB, because we were always uncomfortable, adhered to liberal views. Therefore, when a group of students led by a leader theater studio accused us of all mortal sins, we did not argue. It was impossible to talk to them: we were in shock, because all these people are our friends.

We said that we were closing the school anyway, asked us to give us six months. I quit because I couldn't work - heart problems started because of this situation. Teachers and students came to me every day. They knew about the terrible accusations and were outraged by the behavior of this group of people. Then the school closed, and everything seemed to be over. But two years later, this article appeared with accusations of pedophilia. Such accusations a few years later, in my opinion, are a desire for revenge. Just for what?

“Yes, with some of the teachers, the children could hug, but this is just a human relationship”

Probably many of those who blamed us could not forgive that they failed to convince others. After the school is closed, students come to visit me, continue to communicate with Sergey Alexandrovich (Bebchuk. - Ed.). I opened the Intellect Club, where I conduct online webinars, sometimes offline master classes. About the fact that it was customary at school for a student to kiss the teacher when entering the classroom is nonsense. This has never happened. Yes, the children could hug one of the teachers, but this is just a human relationship.

The story about Tanya Karston (the initiator of the showdown. - Approx. ed.) is monstrous. The girl was very difficult child. I can’t say that she had a split personality, but she could talk about herself, for example, in the third person. She claims that Bebchuk harassed her in a bathhouse in country house in Bobrovo (students often came to the director for additional classes on weekends. - Note ed.), while she later graduated from school, went on a hike with a man who allegedly molested her ... Why? This is some kind of nonsense. This whole story is at the level of the children's game "Believe it or not". They tell you something, and then you either accept it or not.

Izyumov turned to a lawyer two years ago. But he dissuaded him from applying. According to Izyumov, the lawyer argued the situation as follows: “If you don’t care about formal things, the possibility further work at school, I do not recommend you start - it will be a multi-year process in which dirt will flow. Izyumov assures: if the students sued, he would definitely take up the case.

We are not going to decide who is right and who is wrong. But we invite you to consider why known cases of violence are most often associated with closed communities, whether they be elite educational institutions or other associations of people.

A bit of history

The case with the League of Schools is by no means isolated. In August 2016, the Moscow school 57 was at the center of the scandal: a history teacher was accused of many years of sexual relations with students. The victims managed to collect evidence and get the teacher fired. True, the question of whether the other teachers and staff of the school really had no idea about anything remained unanswered.

The problem itself is by no means new: the only question is that victims of harassment have more opportunities to talk about what happened to them. What they are doing - including as part of a flash mob #I'm not afraid to say.

At the hands of abusers endowed with power, members of closed communities have suffered and are suffering - those in which their own rules and norms often reign, unusual and even unacceptable to an outside observer. So, the sexual abuse of children by Catholic priests was talked about back in the 1950s. erupted in the 2000s loud scandal, based on which the film "Spotlight" was filmed in 2015.

Such stories are not limited by time or geographic boundaries. Since 1991 more than 200 former students of 67 private schools in New England (USA) accused teachers and staff members of sexual harassment.

Why is this happening? What is wrong with private schools and closed communities like them?

Why can there be cases of violence in a special school?

The smaller, more elite and "special" educational institution the closer to the children of the teacher. The smaller the distance between the teacher and the student, the more often the boundaries are erased. On the one hand, such an attitude of teachers towards students flatters parents: their children are not just taught, they are taken care of. How to create a safe environment in special schools where teachers are friends with students, read the article process therapist Olga Prokhorova "A romance between a teacher and a student is incest".

What should alert parents when choosing a school?

Every parent wants only the best for their child. Therefore, they are ready to give fabulous money and torture the child with preparation for passing exams, if only to arrange him in a closed educational institution for the elite (elite schools, circles, universities, etc.). It seems that education is better there. It is impossible to argue with this: the smaller the educational institution, the more attention the teachers pay to each student. But there is also back side medals.

Psychologist Lyudmila Petranovskaya sees closed groups as dysfunctional—groups that at some point take more from their members than they give to them. the main objective of such a group is the protection of its status, for the sake of which the system of abuse (use) is built.

Petranovskaya identifies signs that should alert parents. If you notice at least three, it's time to sound the alarm.

You should be alert:

...if the members of the group (circle) consider themselves elected. If this chosenness guarantees success, career, victories, communication on high level. If the group has its own rules, and the usual ones do not apply to it. “To be chosen is flattering and pleasant. This creates dependence on the group. The person loses his criticality. A basis is being formed for closeness and for justifying abuse.

...if the leaders of the circle are trusted more than themselves. The Founding Fathers, the Leaders, the Elders, among the chosen ones are even more chosen ones who know everything and do everything right. Their authority is indisputable, they are smart, modest and selfless, with any question, doubt and complaint, you need to go to them. - Ordinary members of the group are explicitly or implicitly removed from decision-making. The subjectivity is already almost transferred, the hook is driven deep.

...if the group believes that being elected is not only pleasant, but also difficult. Therefore, its members must: work hard, constantly develop, go through new levels, neglect family and loved ones, invest strength, invest money, tighten their belts and not complain (underline as necessary). - Usually, tests begin already upon admission to the group: you need to prove your “chosenness”. The higher the “entry price”, the lower the chance to leave without serious consequences. Members begin to be prepared to give more than they receive and serve the group.

...if the members of the circle are sure that they are envied. They don’t like us and they want to destroy our group, because they envy us, they don’t like the smart, they don’t like the beautiful, they don’t like the righteous, they don’t like our nationality, they don’t like our faith, they want to take our place, they want unconditional power, but we interfere. - Closeness is finally fixed, outside - enemies, let's rally ranks, we live according to the laws of wartime, what are internal borders and human rights.

...if criticism of the circle is unacceptable. It is based on: rumors and speculation, exaggeration and distortion, distorted perception inadequate people, deliberate lie haters, an elaborate conspiracy to destroy us (underline as appropriate). – The necessary foundation for moving on to the next point, the complete shutdown of criticality and feedback.

...if those who talk about the problems of the circle are considered traitors. All problems should be solved within the circle, and those who "take dirty linen out of the hut" - traitors, informers, ungrateful, out of their minds, want to promote themselves, puppets in the hands of enemies. There is a demonstrative persecution and expulsion of the "traitor" with the participation of the entire group. – Conditions for unpunished abuse have been created. On whom the ice rink will pass, and who will be forced to be a skating rink is a matter of chance.

Do you still want to send your child to such a group? Then weigh the pros and cons. “Risks can negate everything you get,” continues Lyudmila Petranovskaya. - Why a brilliant education for someone who is in a protracted depression? If there are more pluses, consider how you will control the situation and what you will do at a critical moment. Watch for changes in the child's condition, try to keep abreast of what is happening, communicate with different members of the group, while maintaining a distance.

Members of the group consider themselves elected. This chosenness guarantees success, career, victories, communication at a high level. The group has its own rules.

If your child is already in such a group, what should you do?

“The main thing is not to criticize or scold the group and its leaders,” continues Lyudmila Petranovskaya. - The more you criticize, the more the child moves away from you and goes into the group. Try to maintain relations by any means, to preserve what unites you and your child, what pleases both of you. Your child will need your support when he has to leave the group (and this moment will come anyway). The child will be ill and will cope. If you suspect something criminal, be prepared to fight. Do not leave it just like that, even if the child is already safe. Think about other children.

If you are a member of such a group. Raise the conversation about principles, rules, priorities. Insist on transparent decision-making procedures, try to remain critical, and in discussions point out and question the paranoid “we are always right, that’s why they don’t like us” pictures. No "absorption without a trace." No "loyalty to the end". Be critical of the leaders of the group - signs of adoration for their team, especially if they play along with this, even pretending to be modest, should alert.

If for you this ends in conflict and expulsion from the group, then the sooner this happens, the better, the less your losses will be.

And further. If you suspect that the group is formally or informally run by a sociopath and there is no chance of changing this, leave immediately. If you have the strength, criticize from outside, help the victims and the expelled.”

How to protect children from such a group?

Most hot topic for all parents - how to protect the child, how not to overlook?

“There is no general recipe,” he believes, “It is impossible to fire all enthusiastic teachers from schools and leave only boring and boring ones, to whom children will definitely not reach out. Therefore, carefully monitor the situation. Mostly elite and closed schools- games primarily for parents. It is they who want the child to study there, it is they who are afraid that he will be expelled because of a scandal or that the prestigious school will be closed. But what you can’t do is brush off the words of the child or blame him. Take what he says seriously. Trust him by default. You need to figure it out in any case, even if it's just a fantasy. As for the Yasenev story, in my opinion, it is much harder than in the 57th, where we are talking about teenagers more younger age. And the consequences for children and educators could be more serious.”

"Main rule: school should not replace the family, says psychotherapist Irina Mlodik.- When this happens, the family ceases to fulfill its function. And then you should not expect close relationships or frankness from the child. Having replaced the family with a school, the child gets used to such a system of relations and will transfer it later to work, trying to build a family in the team.

Second rule- the child should feel protected in the family, know that he will always be supported, understood, accepted.

Third- the rule should be promoted in the family: the body is sacred. You need to set clear personal boundaries - you can not wash the child or hug and kiss without his consent. Remember how at family meetings, if a child dodges kisses with relatives, he is shamed: it's your uncle, kiss him. So it is impossible to say categorically. The child is free to decide whom to kiss. Much depends on the parents - if with their sexuality and sex life everything is in order and they do not transfer it to the child, then the attitude towards the body will be correct.

How to react to parents if the child admitted that he was molested?

If your child comes in with a confession of sexual harassment or sexual abuse, the key is not to brush it off, but to listen. What else needs to be done and how not to react in such a situation? The psychotherapist Irina Mlodik explains.

How to react?

1. First and foremost, you must at least believe the child. Do not say - "You make everything up." Do not laugh at him, do not laugh it off, do not blame the child, do not shame, do not frighten - "What a nightmare, how could you (could)"!
   Parents who react this way can also be understood - someone cannot accept terrible truth, because he loves his child too much or is afraid to admit his failure as a parent, someone perceives the teacher as a person incapable of bad actions, because we have been taught this at school for many years - the teacher is the main and infallible authority, and we do not understand that this is just a person and he can be sick, problematic. It is easier for parents to hide, to brush aside. But this cannot be done.
2. Don't deny the problem, even if it's really just a child's fantasy. Such fantasies do not just happen. This is a bad sign. A symptom that the child has some kind of hidden problem in relations with the teacher or study, the team. If a child acts out violence on someone, this may not necessarily mean sexual abuse, but any symbolic. In any case, the psychologist will determine whether the child invents or not.
3. Ask the child how it was, when, how often, who else participated or saw it, whether it was only with your child or not.
4. Immediately go to the school administration to understand.
5. Do not be afraid that by publicizing the case, you will injure the child. No, you are protecting him. The psyche of a teenager will suffer much more if his offender remains unpunished, and the crime itself remains unnamed. If you dismiss your child's words, he will assume that every adult has the right to do this to him, that his body does not belong to him, that anyone can encroach on him.

Not to mention the consequences of sexual trauma, they are very serious and can cripple your child's life. These traumas are very deep and can manifest later in the form of severe depression, drug use, alcohol, suicide, difficult personal and sexual relationships, inability to create a couple, family, inability to love yourself and your own children. You are causing irreparable injury to the child by not talking about what happened. Think about what is more important for you - not to lose a prestigious school or not to lose a child?

Correspondents of Channel One managed to find the former director of the Lyceum "League of Schools" Sergei Bebchuk, whom his students accused of sexual harassment. One of the victims of the attacks told terrible details that they were seduced both in the forest and in the bathhouse.

Sergei Bebchuk came to the investigators for a preliminary conversation, which is being conducted as part of the verification of this information. He was hiding from the questions of journalists, but he will still have to answer the Investigative Committee.

The scandal in the elite Moscow lyceum, which thundered throughout the country after a couple of days ago, students, long years kept silent, told what really happened in educational institution for gifted children. Sexual harassment by the director and his deputy.

For three days, during the scandal, the former director of school 1199 Sergei Bebchuk was hiding from journalists. He was not at home, the phone was switched off. Today he was taken to the office Investigative Committee for a preliminary interview.

Vera Volyak is a woman who, 20 years later, decided on the ultimate candid interview First TV channel Now she lives in London and talks with pain about her relationship with Sergei Bebchuk for high school. In the photographs of that time - a thoughtful girl. According to her, encouragement, attention from the teacher overcame disgust for everything that was happening. She just didn't understand the seriousness.

Sergei Bebchuk began teaching computer science in 1988. In the circle of specialists, he was known: he was one of the ten strongest programmers in the country, he even got into the American profile encyclopedia for the 90th year, he opened his "League of Schools" in the 94th. A place for gifted children, carefully selected students and teachers. His authority, as graduates recall, was indisputable.

The graduates are also accused of sexual harassment by the deputy director, economics teacher Nikolai Izyumov. He gives one interview after another. He says that offended girls who want to take revenge took up arms against them. Why is a logical question. And the answer is a story about the same Bebchuk's dacha. The weather was hot, and one of the students constantly went in a bathing suit, flirting, according to the teacher, with men. Bebchuk decided to teach her a lesson.

Why did girls sometimes voluntarily allow themselves to be hugged and kissed? Where were the parents looking? After all we are talking about the current system that existed for 20 years! And, finally, where was the teacher-student distance adjusted to the smallest subtleties? The answers to all the questions raised are outside the door. Now Bebchuk continues to testify. He's been in SC for about an hour now. But, judging by the cap pulled down tightly over his eyes and unwillingness to communicate with the press, Sergei Bebchuk intends to remain silent to the last.
