An unidentified man with tattoos and wearing a leather jacket attended a school assembly on September 1 in Russia, where he advised the children to pay more attention to the “Kalashnikov” assault rifle than to other subjects, according to online reports. “Thanks to the ‘Kalash,’ Russia will spread the Russian language throughout the world,” can be heard in a video from the ceremony. The media found out that he is a Russian soldier who fought in Ukraine.
The man was invited to the September 1 opening ceremony at a high school in Krasnoyarsk, according to a report by the Russian media outlet “Dozhd”, which drew attention to a video in one of the local social media groups. The recording shows a Russian man speaking in the schoolyard, with six-year-old children standing before him—holding flowers and backpacks—and listening intently to Kremlin narratives. Journalists noted that during the speech, a statement by the controversial Russian politician Vladimir Zhirinovsky, who died shortly before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, was quoted. In 2026, the children heard that in order to spread the Russian language throughout the world, they need to study the inner workings of a “Kalashnikov” assault rifle in school.
The visitor to the school kept his remarks brief: after Zhirinovsky’s comments about the Russian language and the assault rifle, he wished everyone a happy holiday and left. Meanwhile, “Dozhd” identified the man who visited the first-graders. It turned out to be a resident of Krasnoyarsk Alexander Klaus, who has spoken to schoolchildren before, as local media have reported on multiple occasions. Klaus is a Russian serviceman who fought against Ukrainians. During one of his speeches, he recounted that in August 2023, he volunteered for the Russian Armed Forces, signed a contract, and ended up in the “Black Leopard” unit. His “combat” experience included battles near Avdiivka, Pisky, and Vodyane, after which he was wounded and discharged from service. Addressing children and young people, Klaus said that even today he would like to return to the war and become a medic or a machine-gunner. Russian media reports indicate that Z-soldier participated in “patriotic events” where he urged young people to perform a “heroic deed” and join the Russian Armed Forces to fight against Ukrainians.
