The first school bell rang in the village of Kurakhovka in the DPR

On September 1, a school opened in the village of Kurakhovka in the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR), which accepted six first-graders this year.

In total, 28 schoolchildren from nearby settlements in the DPR will study at the educational institution.

"This is actually not a school, but a former kindergarten. The school in this village was bombed, and the teachers who restored it remained here," said Sergei Dobrovolsky, head of the Young Guard of United Russia in the DPR.

The footage shows that both children and parents were present at the lineup, despite the foggy morning. The teachers greeted the children, and one of the students painted "Scarlet Sails", which became the symbol of the school.
