Secondary school
[edit | edit source]Between 2020 and 2022 the village became the center of a dispute as the secondary school's gym, which was built by the South Ossetian Ministry of Construction, never had a transformer installed rendering it without electricity and inoperable.[2] The school's administrator and former member of the Parliament of South Ossetia Lasko Gussoev lobbied extensively for the transformer, arguing that the lack of government communication was a sign of incumbent President Anatoly Bibilov's corruption or incompetence.[3] Additionally, the school, which was built in 1970 and has seen no renovations, has been the subject of a proposed major renovation which has not been granted by governmental authorities.[4]
