The Kurgan teacher, who had complained to Putin about salaries, was dismissed from his job. He was offered “to undergo treatment in a mental hospital”

Officials from education in the Kurgan region removed from work a teacher who had complained to Putin about the low salary. History teacher Vladimir Kocheulov told about this, transfers Ura.ru.

According to him, by order of the district education department, the teachers of the Zverinogolovskaya school were taken to a neuropsychiatric dispensary for examination. There, they gave a negative characterization to Kocheulov, writing that the man should “undergo treatment in a hospital.”

The teacher himself connected this with his social activities to protect the rights of colleagues.

“An official from the regional education department is trying to fire me because of my work on protecting the rights of teachers. There were several attempts. On December 14, I was dismissed due to the conclusion of the psychiatric commission. I sent an application to the court to declare the order illegal, as well as to compensate for moral damage in the amount of 50 thousand rubles (later they decided to increase the amount to 100 thousand rubles). Human rights ombudsman Boris Shalyutin got involved in the case, ”Kocheulov said.
