The basis for recruiting teenagers to attack schools is an idea, money or extortion, writes journalist Vesti Vitaly Karamzin in a column. At the same time, recruiters work "gently" with children; They don't talk directly about the crime. Curators work through networks of communities on social media dedicated to violence. "Then they look to see who will enter, who will stay, who will ask questions. And they take care to learn what trauma the boy has and how it can be used. Are they bullied at school, beaten in the family? This is a reason to gain trust and direct the child's feelings towards aggression, hatred and violence."
