Let us remind you that a man died during the attack on the university in Anapa. When an armed student entered the building, a security guard resisted and held him at the entrance. Additionally, it was he who called law enforcement but ended up being seriously injured.
When asked whether the family of the deceased would be awarded the Tigran Keosayan award, Simonyan responded positively. Before that, she established an award named after her late husband. According to her, the prize money will be 1 million rubles, and Simonyan himself will decide who to give it to. She explained that the purpose of the award is to reward “good and righteous people.” The creation of the award was inspired by the actions of Orenburg teachers Liya Galeeva and Lyudmila Platonova, who risked their lives to protect children in Buguruslan from a man wielding a knife.
