Homiel University instructor who hanged herself was seriously ill

A Homiel Skaryna University instructor was found hanged. The case is treated as a suicide. She worked at the Department of the Belarusian language, she was married, had two children. According to the university administration, she was seriously ill.

"Before that, she was in the hospital, her husband was going to take her to the hospital again, said the staff of the Philology Faculty. She was a good person, active, a good professional. But she had health problems that may have led to the tragic end."

Administration calls other versions of the events "speculation."

But the instructor had other problems. The house where she lived was deemed the university dormitory by the court. Instructors living there could not privatize the apartment, and the conflict between the administration and teachers has lasted for a while.

House that became a dormitory

"Everyone who lives in the dormitory had problems, said the staff at the department of the Belarusian language, where she worked as an instructor. But we saw no obvious changes in her."

Her neighbor, Viktar, couldn't privatize the apartment in the house deemed a dormitory for a while either. He knew the dead woman for a long time, but he does not know what exactly was the cause of -- the disease or the "housing problem".

"This tragic incident happened yesterday morning with my colleague, she taught the Belarusian language, her husband is a mathematician. Her children grew up here, she lived in this house for over 20 years, here in my block, says Viktar. Some instructors left apartments in Novosibirsk, came here to work. According to the documents, it was a house, not a dormitory, but the university won all the courts."

The house, which suddenly became a dormitory, is not a single case. Five years ago Euroradio reported on one of the houses, part of which the administration of the Moscow district of Minsk considered a dormitory. The courts for the apartments have been going on until today.
