Russian teacher forced out of school for ‘dressing like a prostitute’ and ‘provoking boys to lust after her’ after outrage from parents
Tatiana Kuvshinnikova was slammed for wearing high heels and a dress 'above the knees'
A RUSSIAN teacher was forced out of school after being accused of “dressing like a prostitute” which “provoked boys to lust after her”, according to fuming parents.
Tatiana Kuvshinnikova, 38, faced a barrage of complaints from "outdated" mums and dads over a social media picture showing her in a short shimmering dress and heeled mules while posing in a wintry landscape.
A bitter row erupted at her Barnaul school in Altai Krai as athletic Tatiana, also an ice bather who swims in -30C weather, had posted swimwear images.
Plus, she was shown on a video dancing with schoolgirls in her bikini.
Her school director Olga Gain – who tried to fire her in February before other parents backed the teacher in a show of support – denigrated her in a letter.
According to the she told Tatiana: “This is how prostitutes dress – high heels, dress above the knees, and everything on show.
“Who are you trying to lure? You do not have the right to use the title ‘teacher’.
“You are a stain on the reputation of the school.
“It is not surprising that boy pupils are in love with you, and there is only one step left to paedophilia."
Petition signed in support of Tatiana
The Russian language and literature teacher was initially allowed to remain at the school despite the director’s rant, after she was supported by other mums and dads.
Tatiana said: “Some parents did not like this picture, and it was sent to the school director. It was unexpected and unpleasant.
“I'm also the class teacher, and parents signed a petition to the director asking to keep me at the school. They were pleased with my work.”
Pupils in her class were aged 11, but she is believed to have taught boys up to 17 in the co-ed school.
Denying she had dressed inappropriately while in the classroom, she complained: “It turns out teachers are not allowed to have spare time, hobbies.”
While she continued working at the Siberian school, she was “blanked” by other teachers, who refused to speak to her.

Following her decision to quit this month – because of the difficult stand-off – led to criticism of the school’s director.
Now, regional education minister Maxim Kostenko has vowed to find the teacher another job and branded the reaction of the school director outdated.
He said: “Modern school needs educators who promote a healthy lifestyle, sports.”
