Minister Vladimir Kolokoltsev shook the law enforcement agency for all 12 years....
The late evening of March 22, 2024 entered every Russian family.
And only now, once again watching the announcement of the concert of the Picnic group, you just get cold from a certain "subtext": "Picnic. A new dimension with a symphony orchestra. March 22 and 23, 2024, Crocus City Hall.
All tickets were sold out! The hall seats 6,200 spectators, in two days of the concert the audience should have been 12,400.
But from the concert hall yesterday, March 22, there was only a terrible, huge ashes...
150 people (data at 14:04 Moscow time, March 23) will never know that they died a ridiculous, accidental death, because everyone decided milliseconds.
Among the innocently killed are children - 8, 10 and 11 years old.
Almost 200 people are in hospitals, more than 60 people are in serious condition, many children and adolescents.
Since early Saturday morning, Blood Centers in Moscow and the Moscow Region have been receiving donors. And the flow there is continuous.
Health Minister Murashko said that the Ministry of Health has opened a hotline for psychological assistance: +74956377070.
But every hour there are more and more victims: the seriously wounded and burned die on the operating table.
New victims of a terrible fire are found on the ashes.
But why so many victims? Why did the riot police, whose base is located near the burnt out concert hall, get to the Crocus for almost an hour?
Why did the Minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, General Kolokoltsev, dressed as if for dinner in an expensive restaurant, appear at the scene of the tragedy almost 3 hours after the bandits began shooting at unarmed people?
To be precise - after 2 hours 44 minutes - at 22:39 Moscow time. The time was "detected" by the journalists of the Izvestia newspaper.
The bandits began shooting at 19:55 Moscow time and finished at 20:13 Moscow time.
They did everything in 18 MINUTES.
As those who survived in this bloody "bath" later began to report, they did not see a single policeman either at the entrance to the Crocus, or in the concert hall itself...
But after all, there was a wave of messages about possible terrorist acts in the capital, starting from March 8! Even TASS called about it.
So why was there not a single police officer at the entrance, or rather, at the entrances to a huge concert hall, after warnings of possible terrorist attacks?
Or do we now have the police - "Flower Patrol"?
They observe in all eyes, who and where leaves bouquets of flowers. And how many police officers were at the funeral of a man whose name cannot be said aloud? Indeed, Minister Kolokoltsev, who for a long time together with his family has been interested - first of all - in the opportunity to further "weigh down" bank accounts, whether this family business concerns sewing uniforms and pants or introducing new digital programs into the system of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Of course, on the territory of the Crocus City Hall concert hall there were employees of the Crocus-Profi private security company that evening.
But these guards were armed only with Tasers and batons. But can several thugs armed to the teeth be confronted with batons?
And in huge backpacks, these thugs had gas canisters.
And on the territory of the concert hall, the Rapid Response Group (RRB) of the Federal State Unitary Enterprise "Guard of the Russian Guard," which is armed with firearms, is deployed.
According to eyewitnesses, they did not see anyone from this group, and the Rosgvardeys themselves appeared only an hour after the start of the tragedy.
Another question to General Kolokoltsev: those who escaped are now sharing on social networks that it was impossible to get through to the police.
People tried to do this through the "112" operator, but the "112" operator reported that he could not get through to the police. The people hung for 10-12 minutes on the lines, but there was no communication!
As a result, anyone fled from the concert hall of horrors as best they could...
At 22:29 Moscow time. Hundreds of people were trotting along the bridge near the Moscow Ring Road, without outerwear.
At 22:31 msc. there were reports that security measures were strengthened at the Myakinino metro station (the closest metro station to the concert hall).
Soon, dozens of people without outerwear began to appear on the Myakinino aprons, wrapped in red and blue throws...
At 22:39 Moscow time. A motorcade of expensive cars drove up to the Crocus ashes: the Minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Kolokoltsev arrived at the "hat" analysis with a retinue...
