| The attacker, identified as Denis Pozdeev, reportedly has had brushes with the law. A few years ago, he was charged with advocating extremism after he'd posted Nazi symbols on social media. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to a fine. | |
| Local authorities have yet to establish why an armed, inebriated adult was allowed in by the kindergarten security. | |
| “A private security firm has a standing contract, as is required,” the deputy governor of the Nenets Autonomous Region told journalists adding that “the guard was on-site.” | |
| Some reports said the security had mistaken the assailant for one of the parents; obviously, this explanation is unlikely to go down well, under the circumstances. | |
| The official, Natalya Sidorova, added she had no words to express “all the terror and pain” that she believed she shared with every resident of the city. “Naryal-Mar, a quiet and calm place, is shocked by this tragedy,” she said. | |
