On January 12-13, dozens of schools in many regions of Russia were evacuated due to false reports of mining. In some cities, schools have completely stopped working. Lipetsk, Saratov, Samara, Tyumen, Nizhny Novgorod, Arkhangelsk, Yekaterinburg, Krasnoyarsk — the list is still incomplete. The FSB, as usual, announced a «trace from abroad.» Why “as usual” — because exactly the same thing happened two years ago, only not in January, but in November and December.
Similarly, the major cities of the country this year are covered by a wave of evacuations. In the same way, no one knows who it is, why it is, what they want. Except that this year there were more reports of bullying: they say that former students who were bullied at school are now going to blow up their schools.

Just like the year before last, children are being evacuated from schools quickly, without being allowed to get dressed. When this happened in Moscow at plus eight, the parents were restrainedly drinking. But now in Yekaterinburg, eyewitnesses noticed that all over the city crowds of children were standing outside schools — often completely undressed, in changeable shoes in 14-degree frost. Children in white shirts and school sarafan trousers dance to keep warm, teachers try in vain to hug them.
In most cases, they still tried to take the children to neighboring schools or other municipal institutions — but they still had to go undressed in the cold.
Parents in chats and social networks argue irreconcilably. Some say: what a blatant disgrace — children naked in the cold! Others object: nothing will happen in ten minutes in the cold, the alarm is real, not a training one, if there was a real terrorist or a real bomb, while the children were digging in the locker room, anything could happen!
In the reality of mining Almost no one believes, but everyone is anxious. Small children get frightened and cry, middle ones rejoice at the variety of school everyday life — and return home to sleep. Seniors are sometimes even annoyed that the lessons are gone: exams are coming soon. A teacher from Kurgan says: “Children have fun — they don’t study. Parents are rather angry, and some are scared: who will guarantee that one of the false messages will not turn out to be real? When we had this, a feeling of helplessness rolled over.
