A few days ago, the Internet became a viral video in which scantily clad students of the aviation Institute dancing to the smash-hit benny Benassi. The video provoked a mixed reaction from the public, and the rector of the institution, publicly condemned the young people and stated that action will be taken.

In mid-January, the network appeared the two-minute video shot by the cadets of Ulyanovsk Institute of civil aviation (UIGA). In it, young men in underwear and caps dancing to the song by Italian DJ benny Benassi – Satisfaction. Initially, the authors signed their work with “Why you should not fly on airplanes (shock, Ulyanovsk famous again)” and then changed the name to “How to entertain pilots between flights”. They also stressed that created the video for entertainment purposes and did not aim to discredit anyone or offend.

According to currently available information, the filming was attended by 14 students. The video became viral, he was noticed by local media and a popular public of the country. In a few hours of creative young people got millions of views.

“The students of the Ulyanovsk flight school decided to make a video? and they obviously did something wrong,” wrote in the popular community of MDK in “Vkontakte”, securing a spot at the beginning of the wall.

Not all appreciated the efforts of cadets. Many have criticized the video, finding it erotic and immoral. The rector of the institution Sergey Krasnov said that teachers shocked at the behavior of their students. He also made it clear that young people will be punished for the shooting.

“If you are out of the ordinary. Of course, I write that the guys may be joking. But if they made that joke at home, no one would have paid no attention. And they still had caps in civil aviation. The worst thing is the attitude of our veterans here in this pseudo-pilots who came to the first course. This is a mockery, I believe. It is an institution that gives them a start in life. We understand, call the parents. And with them will give”, – said the rector.

On the website of the Federal air transport Agency (FAVT) was published an article in which it strongly condemned the act of the students. Shooting the video was called “outrageous.” In connection with the publication of the scandalous video had created a special Commission to investigate “all the reasons for and the circumstances of this ugly case.” Experts of aviation medicine, with whom he consulted, recommended that “extraordinary medical-flight examination noted the student with a detailed account of their psycho-emotional state”.

“To all involved in this immoral episode as among the leadership of the Ulyanovsk Institute, and cadets will be taken strict disciplinary measures, including dismissal and expulsion. A similar case is noted for the first time in more than 90-year history of the Russian civil aviation. Rosaviatsia believes that their actions, the students achieved all the civil aviation employees, honestly performing his employment duty. Frivolous dancing in lingerie with uniform cap of the Institute, covering the face, in the air of the University is unacceptable,” – said on the official website of the Agency.

The scandal, which arose after the publication of the video, and noticed abroad. About the video came out article for several foreign publications, including The Sun, Newsweek, Daily Mail and Il Fatto Quotidiano.

Meanwhile, in the Network there were those who stood up for the students. The Network has noticed that young people have reshot the video of British soldiers, released in 2015. Foreign military also appeared before the public in his underwear and caps, dancing to the hit benny Benassi. Some users think it is unfair to deduct Ulyanovsk cadets over such a harmless, in their opinion, reconstruction of the other videos. On the website change.org there was a petition in defense of students of the Institute of civil aviation. It has been signed by thousands of people.

“The cadets started hounding from the media, the authorities of the Institute and FATA. Numerous reports with a distorted sense of the content of the video and the headlines on various sites. As a result students were removed from steam in the Institute in violation of their right to education. Because of the scandal, bloated media, they can be expelled over a harmless parody. The video was meant as a joke and had no reason, first-year students did not think that this can ruin the prestige of the Institute or to lead the leaders. This staged and fully positive parody should not deprive education of young and promising pilots. None of them had problems with learning and disciplinary penalties”, – said in the appeal to the Federal air transport Agency, the rector of the Institute Sergey Krasnov and prosecutors.

Social media users have supported the authors of the petition in the comments, and began to distribute a link to it. “Our better-made. The University leadership – shame”, “the same humor…,” “Beautiful, young guys fool around. There is nothing like youth and positive”, “Please don’t break kid’s life”, “we Must not expel students and dismiss the rector. What is scandalous in this clip?!”, “A great fantasy and humor”, “don’t like it when zombies pursue living humans,” was discussed on the Internet.

For cadets has stood the hero of Russia, pilot of the highest category Andrei Lamanov. “The young guys, have some fun; one hundred percent health, energy nowhere to go — in your free time so decided to splash out. Every generation had their own idols, and every abused elder: “You do not dance, do not listen to those songs!” The parents ask! — shared Lamanov with journalists. No it’s not a mockery, just tomfoolery healthy young people.” Mayor of Yekaterinburg Yevgeny Roizman also decided to support the students.

“I believe that the head of the Ulyanovsk flight school needs to make an official statement: “My students are the coolest, they made a kick-ass clip, and showed that they are bold and witty. I am sure that they will be able to study well and become great pilots! Our school best. And who will talk nonsense about my students – will have to deal with me!” It would be right and beautiful,” – said the politician.

Thursday Privolzhsky transport office of public Prosecutor has published results of check. The experts did not reveal violations that resulted in expulsion of students from the University. The Ministry demanded to bring to a disciplinary responsibility of teachers of the Institute.
