The fact that Professor Oleg Syromyatnikov continued the lecture during the shooting was previously reported by the Perm portal 59.ru.
“I remained calm and continued my lecture.
I closed the metal door of the auditorium immediately from the inside.
It is impossible to pierce it with a shot.
Would it be better if there was panic in the audience? "
- said the teacher.
However, some students complained that the man continued to lead the pair.
The press service of the university then said that "it is important to continue some routine action in order not to panic."

The website of the university indicates that Syromyatnikov is a doctor of philological sciences, he works as a professor at the department of Russian language and stylistics and the department of Russian literature.
