A message appeared on the Telegram channel in which a 17-year-old girl spoke about bullying based on ethnicity.
“What is my fault? That I have narrow eyes or dark skin? Why did they turn this into a joke,” the message said.
An obituary was published on the Novosibirsk Regional Sambo Federation social media page.
Below the girl’s suicide note, most of the messages also indicate possible harassment.
