excursion at the Yeya Spit. Their teacher allowed them to swim in the
sea. The weather deteriorated suddenly. The children were swept away,
six of them and a teacher trying to save them drowned. One pupil
suffered severe bodily injuries.

which the children had come, was accused of negligence leading to the
deaths of two or more people and Alexey Bagryantsev, a Geography and
Economics teacher, was accused of negligence leading to severe bodily
