🇷🇺 - Controversy strikes Russian social media after Armenian students in Yessentuki, Stavropol Krai, “took over” a school New Years event, playing Armenian national music and waving Armenians flags. A Russian teacher at the school, with approval of some of the Russian students, confiscated the Armenian flags and attempted to restore a Russian character to the event.

This caused outrage among the Armenian community, with the Armenian lobby petitioning the ministry of education and making accusations about the personal life of the Russian teacher to get her fired.
