Schoolchildren in Kirov exercise in a moldy room.

      At School No. 4, students are forced to attend classes in a moldy gym. This was reported by activists from the People's Front.

      Black mold covers all the gym walls, most heavily near the ceiling. The room has a characteristic musty odor. More than 600 children, as well as teachers, are forced to breathe it.

      According to parents, the mold appeared more than five years ago when the wooden windows were replaced with plastic ones. Rospotrebnadzor has ordered the school to repair the walls, and the school repaints them regularly, but the mold keeps reappearing.

      The People's Front believes that more extensive work is needed to remove the mold. The administration has promised to allocate about 200,000 rubles next year, but parents are convinced that this amount will not be nearly enough and that the work will not be carried out anytime soon. In connection with this, activists have appealed to the prosecutor's office.
