Lyamino school shooting

The Lyamino school shooting was a school shooting that occurred at construction school N°6 in Lyamino in Perm Krai, on February 11, 1958. 7 died, and 6 had injuries in the attack. The shooting was concealed by Soviet authorities, until 2016 when the book Socialism does not breed crime was written.

Mikhail Tselousov, a 24-year-old Komsomol organization secretary,  stole a rifle owned by the rifle club. Then he walked to the women dormitory of construction school N°6. He also killed 2 in the streets with the rifle. He killed 3 and injured 8 in the dormitory. 2 injured people died later. The policeman of Lyamino stopped the attack by disarming the perpetrator after he left the dormitory. 

The investigation established that a girl at the school was pregnant with the perpetrator's child. The attacker had also recived complaints from female students at construction school N°6, and had drank heavily on the day. Mikhail Tselousov was sentenced to death and shot in February 1959.

Despite the death caused by the incident, the Soviet authorities decided that the shooting could not be reported. People of Lyamino did not even know about the attack. The attack was only reported on in the book Socialism does not breed crime. The book was written by several researchers using the name Alexey Rakitin.
