| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. By Aleksandr Kots [KP] Perhaps Oleg Syromyatnikov himself did not fully understand what was happening. It's not every day that an armed psycho breaks into your house. But instinctively he did it right. Scary video surveillance footage at the University of Perm . The girl walks along the corridor of one of the buildings, as if nothing had happened. Either she underestimated the threat, or she took what was happening as someone's joke. She's not in the least scared. Suddenly, a killer with a shotgun comes out from around the corner and fires a shot. The girl falls to the floor . Students who locked themselves in other offices could not see this, but staying indoors at that time was the only right decision. Today many criticize the professor of the Department of Russian Language and Stylistics at Perm University, Doctor of Philology Oleg Syromyatnikov, who, instead of running around the office, pulling out his last hair and shouting "Everything is lost!", calmly continued his lecture. What else should he have done? Give in to the panic that was spreading through the university chat rooms? To chase children along the corridors towards an armed man? The professor did not know in which building, on which floor the criminal was. The retired police lieutenant colonel simply could not trust the information from the chats. And he did the right thing. Even the official account of the University in those minutes gave incorrect information, including about the killer's weapons, which were supposedly traumatic. Start throwing students out of windows , providing fractures at best? What if the killer will shoot at the fleeing. The iron door is locked, those sitting inside are protected from outside intrusion. The dean on the phone says to stay put and continue the lesson. An adult needs to calm down children and put out the incipient panic. What to do? You can sit around and pray, whipping up an already panicky mood. Or you can pretend that nothing is happening, just teachings, and with your confidence inspire confidence in frightened students. Perhaps Oleg Syromyatnikov himself did not fully understand what was happening. It's not every day that an armed psycho breaks into your house. But instinctively he did it right. As did the teachers in other classrooms, who closed the children with a key. I hope that the investigators who are now checking the actions of this teacher will put themselves in the shoes of the parents of the students who happened to be in that auditorium that day. And those who came out of it not through the window, but through the door - with their own feet. This is the main and only result by which one can "judge" Syromyatnikov. I must say thank you to Oleg Ivanovich, and not to bother him with checks. Aleksandr Kots is a military journalist who writes for Komsolmol Pravda |
