Moscow schoolchildren will soon receive ID cards bearing a logo of the pro-Kremlin United Russia party. Activists of the �ruling party� are convinced that the move will help make city schools safer. United Russia�s political rivals have already denounced the idea.
On Tuesday United Russia activists announced their plans to issue the identity cards for pupils of Moscow school No.1297 in a move they believe will help enhance security in classrooms as well as control school attendance.
Every pupil and teacher will receive a plastic card with his or her photo and important personal data. United Russia�s symbol � a walking bear against the backdrop of the Russian flag � and the address of the party headquarters in Moscow will be printed on the reverse side of the card.
