Students of an Altai university declared war on the stores located near the university
The initiative group of students signed a resolution which included a paragraph recommending the Council of Rectors to apply to the Altai Krai Administration and Legislative Assembly for local banning of alcoholic beverages sale near educational institutions. The students asked to move the stores for at least 500 meters from the temples of science.
Yekaterina Klimovich, co-author of the resolution:
“Our university and the campus is surrounded by the shops selling alcohol - a total of five. Meanwhile, everyone knows that the so-called "pan" is a favorite place of all Barnaul students, but in recent years it has become an open-air cafe. There is a law, which prohibits selling alcohol near schools, but in practice, it is not observed. By our resolution, we want to attract the attention of the authorities to this problem.”
