2nd grade student Elvan Fayzullina (Tatar by nationality) and other girls from a local boarding school were playing near a concrete wall that separated the school from the nearest forest, when suddenly, 50 meters away, several boys began to shout.

The girls ran towards them and found the boys attacking the strange creature by throwing rocks at it. The creature resembled a small "goblin", as depicted in local folklore: dwarf, covered with thick black fur. 

The girls stared at the creature in amazement, and Elvan felt sorry for it. Obviously, the unfortunate creature didn't know what to do, and looked confused. He stood with his back to the concrete wall and periodically tried to jump on it, and then jumped back down. For some strange reason, the entity didn't escape. 

Soon the teacher ran up, drew a child's cry, and saw a strange entity, concerned for the children, which she ordered everyone to return to the classroom. After that, the entity apparently disappeared. 

Surprisingly, none of the children were scared during the meeting.
