It was possible to find out that children are being locked in dark rooms, shocks and other “educational” measures, thanks to the testimony of video cameras.

The former head of the kindergarten, Elena Vorotnikova, was sentenced to four years ‘suspended imprisonment, the court sentenced the former educators to three to five years’ suspended imprisonment with a ban on teaching.
