[Regnum] The Russian government is preparing a series of measures in response to the increasing number of bear attacks. Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Patrushev announced this on September 30
"Systematic measures are needed to establish a safe environment for people and animals and maintain the necessary balance. In this regard, the Russian government is currently preparing a series of priority measures," Patrushev's secretariat quoted him as saying.
The Cabinet of Ministers will consider removing the brown bear's status from the endangered species list to expand the tools for regulating its population. Furthermore, the government will compile a list of regions that will receive additional funding for bear population management.
According to government monitoring data, the brown bear population in Russia has more than doubled over the past 30 years. There are now over 300,000 individuals.

A bear attempted to enter a school cafeteria in the Irkutsk region
A bear attempted to enter a school cafeteria in the village of Zalog, Irkutsk Oblast. Local public groups reported this on September 30.
That night, the school custodian noticed a damaged drainpipe. He suspected that someone might be trying to break into the school and called a colleague.
"Luckily, our second employee immediately realized it wasn't hooligans, but a bear. Judging by the destruction left behind, the predator even tried to climb into the school building through a window," said school principal Larisa Zavodskikh.
While the guards were deciding what to do, the bear moved to an apiary on the school grounds. It was later shot there.
