In Yekaterinburg, students at Lyceum No. 159 have been required to install the MAX messenger. According to a message received by parents, on January 26, teenagers will be gathered together and will download the state app under teacher supervision.

In the message, teachers explained that on this day, the lyceum will hold a «Day Without Mobile Phones.» And they emphasized that using cell phones during lessons is not allowed.
«The event is conducted with the aim of preserving students» health, reducing visual strain, and fostering a responsible attitude towards the use of digital devices,« stated in the message.
