Principal from Kherson region integrates school into occupiers' standards

Under the procedural supervision of the Kherson Region Prosecutor's Office, a resident of the region was served in absentia a notice of suspicion of aiding the occupying state (Part 1 of Art. 111-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).

In August 2022, the 49-year-old suspect woman took up the position of the so-called 'director of the Kherson region's Nikolskaya School of the Belozersk Municipal District'.

This was reported by the Kherson Regional Prosecutor's Office.

In this position, the collaborator began the process of integrating the school into the Russian educational system and registered the institution in the occupation register. In particular, she was looking for pedagogical and technical staff to work according to Russian standards using Russian as the official language. She confiscated all Ukrainian-language literature and textbooks, replaced state symbols with enemy symbols.

The traitor handed over the material and technical base of the institution to the occupation administration. In addition, the suspect initiated individual educational conversations with students to suppress their national identity and form a loyal attitude to the ideology of the invaders. To support her actions, she also organized trips for children to the territory of the occupied Crimea and to Russia for "recreation".

Earlier, the invaders appointed a former deputy of the Kakhovka City Council, Oleksandr Makarov, as the director of the occupation school in the village of Tavrychanka in the Kherson region. He was the head of Kakhovka school No. 3, but was fired for alcohol abuse in the workplace.

The invaders dismissed 58-year-old Natalia Galchenko from the post of director of the occupation school in the village of Tavrychanka, Kakhovka district, Kherson region. Instead, 59-year-old Oleksandr Makarov, a former director of Kakhovka school No. 3, a member of the city council of two previous convocations and a longtime ally of the occupier Pavlo Filipchuk, was appointed to run the school.
