On 9 June, a\u00a0<\/b>video<\/b><\/a>\u00a0appeared on Twitter showing a boy being beaten by his peer in a school restroom. The author of the tweet described him with the words: \u201eUkrai\u0144cy ju\u017c rezaj\u0105 Polak\u00f3w w polskich szko\u0142ach\u201d (Eng.: “Ukrainians<\/a> are already beating up Poles in Polish schools”). The video with fake comment has been viewed more than 400,000 times. In the article, we explain that this scene of aggression was filmed in Russia, not in Poland.<\/b><\/p>\n

The word \u201creza\u0107\u201d used in the comment is not a random one \u2013 it comes from Ukrainian \u0440\u00ed\u0437\u0430\u0442\u0438, which literally translates as \u201cto cut\u201d. This is probably a reference to the Volyn massacre. To identify the source material, we began from searching for individual frames from the film using the image search. Unfortunately, to no avail. As noted by Internet users commenting on the video, both boys speak Russian. So, we entered the phrase \u201c<\/span>school toilet<\/span><\/a>\u201d in Russian in Yandex and selected \u201crecently added images\u201d. This allowed us to find a\u00a0<\/span>post<\/span><\/a>\u00a0on the newsburst.ru portal, which in turn refers to an\u00a0<\/span>article<\/span><\/a>\u00a0in Komsomolskaya Pravda dated 7 June. According to the text, the recorded situation took place on 2\u00a0May in Russia, specifically in <\/span>a high school in the village of Turochak, in the Altai Republic<\/b>. Law enforcement authorities have initiated criminal proceedings against the bully who beat up the other boy.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the investigators, the reason for the attack was a dispute over a vaporizer. The victim of the attack allegedly appropriated it. He then returned it, but the attacker decided to bring him to justice himself. State officials are to investigate the conditions in which the perpetrator is brought up.<\/span><\/p>\n

Aggression in schools<\/b><\/h2>\n

Violence in schools knows no borders, so the scenes in the film could have happened in any country. According to a 2017 UNESCO <\/span>study<\/span><\/a>,\u00a0around\u00a030% of all students experience some form of aggression at school each year. Data shows that the least cases of bullying occur in Central America (22.8%), whereas it is most common in Sub-Saharan Africa (48.2%). By contrast, in Europe, as in the Caribbean, about a quarter of students are victims of violent behaviour in schools. A summary of the study from all regions is presented in the graphic below. The UNESCO report also contains a number of recommendations aimed at combating school violence. They include, among others:<\/span><\/p>\n
