There are Crimean Tatar national classes with Russian language of learning in this school. The students were notified of the FSB officers visit on May 26.

According to the newspaper, the students and their parents are summoned to a study and are asked about the May holidays, in particular, whether they wore the St. George ribbons on May 9.

The officers question the boys only.

According to a source from Crimea, when parents asked why the talks were held only in the Crimean Tatar class, the officers replied that it was a planned activity and everyone would be questioned, but it had been decided to start in 9th grade.

The parents are concerned by the FSB questioning, because the children are to pass exam on May 28 exam and they experience stress the day before.
