== History ==
A student from Koldovstoretz competed in the Wizarding Schools Potions Championship.
In the late 2010s or early 2020s, a Calamity Investigator visited Koldovstoretz to help teach the students about the Calamity. The school was quiet and got to witness a Russian Quidditch variant - where wizards used fully uprooted trees as brooms.

== Etymology ==
* The name of this school is likely derived from the Russian words "koldovstvo" (колдовство), misspelt as "koldovsto" and meaning "witchcraft", and "tvoretz" (творец), meaning "creator". Together the words form a partially overlapping portmanteau with the meaning "(the) creator of magic". By another version, the second word is "dvoretz" (дворец), meaning "palace", that makes the whole name the "palace of witchcraft".
== Behind the scenes ==
* Durmstrang does not admit Muggle-born students and Koldovstoretz is the closest school to Durmstrang, so it is possible that Muggle-borns who are born in the far north of Europe are educated in the Russian school.
* Due to Mahoutokoro being the only Asian wizarding school mentioned in canon so far, there is a possibility that some Asian (or even ethnic Asian) witches and wizards in Russia and the former Soviet states attend Koldovstoretz.
