Details: On 15 September, a video that was said to be recorded by students of the school was spread in the social media. 

In the video, a man in the auditorium watches a clip for a Ukrainian screenwriter Taras Borovok’s song "Bayraktar" and discusses it with students. 

The media reported that the man in the video was a Russian language professor Andrii Bilozerov. The professor seemed to be openly stating during his classes that he was waiting for Ukrainian defenders. Officially, the professor’s name was not revealed. 

Quote by the so-called "adviser to the head of Crimea" Oleg Kriuchkov: "The college professor has been fired. We regard such musical performances as treason. It is 150 kilometres to the border; if somebody wants to support Ukraine, they can go there. They will become minced meat there very quickly."

The so-called "Ministry of Internal Affairs of Crimea" said that they initiated an investigation and were clarifying all the circumstances. 

Besides that, there is an "internal" investigation regarding that college’s director and its administration going on as well.
