I'm still thinking about Ilnaz Galyaviev.
Here's what I've found:
1.! Ilnaz Galyaviev, who opened fire at a Kazan gymnasium in 2021, got married in prison!
This news was reported on July 15. At the time of the crime, Ilnaz was 19 years old. In May, he entered Gymnasium No. 175, where he once studied, armed with a hunting rifle and a homemade bomb. On that day, 9 people were killed by his hands, and 24 were injured.
2. Currently, 24-year-old Ilnaz is serving his sentence in the Black Dolphin colony for life-sentenced prisoners (IK-6 in Sol-Iletsk).
3. Ilnaz's chosen one, 18-year-old Diana, learned about him in 2021 from the news. Galyaviev seemed attractive to her, so she decided to write him a letter. A month later, she received a response, and their correspondence began. At the time, Diana was 14 years old.
4. The young people did not discuss the crime in their letters. However, when Diana visited Ilnaz for a long visit (a life sentence prisoner is allowed one long visit per year), he confessed that he was in a "certain psychological state" at the time of the crime.
5. Diana and Ilnaz shared many common interests, and their childhoods were similar. It was then that Diana fell in love. She followed her heart. She even moved to Tatarstan to be closer to Ilnaz, and she attended court hearings.
6. The wedding took place at the end of June this year. It was a short ceremony, lasting only 10 minutes. Ilnaz was dressed in a suit, while Diana wore a wedding dress. After the marriage, Diana, as his legal wife, visited him for a long date.
7. Currently, Ilnaz Galyaviev works in a sewing workshop. He works hard, overachieves, and the money he earns goes to compensate the victims. Diana works as a pastry chef. The couple communicates through letters and phone calls. Ilnaz can only call Diana once a month.
