The hearings in Rivne on moral and spiritual upbringing were sparked off by a film shown on the web in which a group of teenagers egg and smear passers-by with paint. Such acts are the doing of an organization that calls itself "Rivne Bums." According to one of the victims, he was attacked by teenagers late at night while waiting on a bus stop. They started throwing eggs at him and tried to hit him on the back with a piece of meat. He was saved by a guitar on his back and a bus that arrived. In the opinion of Rivne lawmakers, the situation is so grave that it should be tackled at the national level. Lawmakers recommended to hold similar hearings in all oblast rayons. All proposals made by the public in the course of the hearings will be sent to Verkhovna Rada.
