What do school principals and teachers in other regions of Russia think about Halloween at Lyceum No. 4 in Baisk? The class teacher warned the parents in a conversation: there will be heavy patrols on the streets at the weekend, so you shouldn't go out with "decorated" children. At least three classes received such messages. The district administration said that there were no official prohibitions: the teachers meant that it was possible to party not at night and be at home until 10 p.m., and the patrols were a regular police duty. History teacher of Moscow School No. 1741 Pavel Pankin: "The school never encouraged Halloween, but I don't remember any scandals with bans. You need a calm and thoughtful approach: people always want something from a holiday - what do you want from Halloween? " Director of Lyceum No. 369 in St. Petersburg Konstantin Chustov: "I don't think so. I didn't notice any interest in guys for about 15 years. This is not a holiday, but a made-up story that landed in the nineties. That's the beauty of modern kids, they cut the slag. There are traditional holidays, they are valuable to society. I hope this story will pass like ARVI, even if it is not treated." History teacher Ilanz Akhmatyanov from Kazan: "Children don't like Halloween, but masks - the opportunity to express themselves in autumn, when everything is gray. I'm neutral, I like it when they think through the costumes. I consider the story about the devil far-fetched. Schools have a policy of not teaching Halloween, even in English classes - schools avoid the subject to protect themselves." The deputy of the State Duma, Anastasia Odlatsova, proposed to replace Halloween with the Day of Russian Legends. In Kotia, it was officially banned in 2023; In the Krasnodar Territory, videos were sent through electronic journals with a call not to celebrate. Sverdlovsk deputy Vyacheslav Wagner suggested "drowning pumpkins in the East" and giving young people tickets to cinemas.
