After terrorist attack Vitsebsk kept on toes

Educational institutions where the natives of Vitsebsk who are supposed organizers of the terrorist attack in Minsk metro had been studying, as well as the enterprises where they worked, are being inspected.

The results of monitoring include admonitions and removal from offices.

A large-scale inspection is expected in the secondary school #35, where the two detainees had studied.

“The level of character building work and ideology work is to be checked. And it does not matter that the detainees finished the school almost 10 years ago. The past and the present are to be examined, and not only in the school they studied in, but in all schools. Notably, the aim of monitoring as a rule is not to confirm that everything is fine, but to prove that everything is done badly, and to punish someone without fail,” a teacher of one of Vitsebsk schools complains.

According to the information on the web, at least two detained persons once received vocational secondary education. The prosecutor’s office carried out an inspection of vocational technical schools, and the results are known already: the level of crime prevention is low. Participants of the inspection turned attention to increase in crime among teenagers: they commit robberies, thefts, many of them are detained in state of intoxication repetitively; asocial behaviour in their families is recorded.

The enterprises where the detainees worked, are being inspected as well (Vitsebsk tractor parts plant). Details of this inspection are not disclosed for some reason, so there are various rumours in the city: “a piece of explosive” was found in some closet of the plant, or that all members of the plant administration have been fired.

While mass media have no official information about the detained and their involvement in the terrorist attack, different rumours are in the air in Vitsebsk. Journalists learn about them, which provokes new and new sensations in the press and on the web. Preventive conversations with the staff are held in institutions and organizations of the city. They are told not to speak about any “sensitive issues” with strangers and not to share information about the detained natives of Vitsebsk with mass media representatives.
