"With the support of United Russia": Voronezh teachers fell for a prank and held a memorial lesson for a non-existent teacher with a portrait of a pedophile.
Reader "NotMoscow" I noticed that this week, Voronezh School No. 16 reported on the "Teacher's Feat" campaign. As part of it, teachers spoke about teacher Ivan Kuznetsov and his supposed heroic deeds. A post about this "memory lesson" was published in the public group "Voronezh. News about the Main Thing," which has over 20 subscribers.
“The event was held with the support of the United Russia party,”is emphasized in the publication. — The conversation focused on the most important thing: the teaching profession is about more than just knowledge and a lesson schedule. A teacher educates by example—by how they live and how they act in difficult times.
It goes on to claim that Kuznetsov's name has become "part of the school's own history."
“We remember him as a man who combined courage and dedication to his cause, and we pass on this memory to new generations of teachers,” the teachers noted.
In fact, according to open sources, teacher Ivan Kuznetsov never worked at the Voronezh school. And the photograph shown during the memory lesson depicts a resident. Denis Runov of St. Petersburg, who, along with his wife, raped his own daughter and adopted son for 11 years. In 2024, he got for this, life imprisonment.
The school has already deleted the post about the event, which was aimed at "strengthening the teachers' values" and "a sense of belonging to their country's history," from its VKontakte page. However, a NeMoskva subscriber managed to take a screenshot.
The teachers themselves said they were "sent" a biography and photo of the heroic teacher and asked to conduct a memorial lesson. It was only after the report was published that someone pointed out that the photo depicted a pedophile. Judging by the published photos, the memorial lesson took place in at least two classrooms.
Voronezh School No. 16 has over 400 students. It was founded in 1937 and is housed in an old four-story building with high ceilings, as seen in a photo from a memory lesson—a projector screen fits above the blackboard. In a post on the school's website from October 22, 2025, NeMoskva discovered a similar classroom for students in grade 8A. was passing personal financial planning game.
The last publication on the school website is dated September 10th: are given Tips on how to avoid becoming a victim of fraud.
Judging by the plot, the author of the prank could have been a famous prankster Vladislav Bokhan, This isn't the first time he's forced teachers to do absurd things. However, he didn't talk about this particular stunt.
