At the same time, it became known that investigative actions were carried out in the Kemerovo administration. Investigators check the people who gave permission to put the buildings into operation, which was redone from the confectionery factory to the shopping center.
The case was initiated under Articles 109, 219 and 238 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (“Causing death by negligence”, “Violation of fire safety requirements that entailed the death of two or more persons”, “the provision of services that do not meet safety requirements”).

It was he who was responsible for security in the Winter Cherry shopping center. An employee and director of the fire alarm company "System Integrator" Alexander Nikitin and Igor Polozinenko were also taken into custody.
Who set fire and who locked
“The focus of the primary thermal influence was in the hidden cavity between the third and fourth floors of the shopping center in the area of the Batuta Center,” said a source in the regional Ministry of Emergencies. There was a power cable.
About 100 items were sent for examination. In particular, the remains of foam balls from the children's pool, elements of insulation, fragments of interior decoration. There is reason to believe that these materials do not comply with the approved standards, says the source of RBC.
The Investigative Committee considers two versions of the causes of the tragedy: a malfunction of the fire safety system and arson. About arson, committed by a “group of adolescents of non -Russian appearance,” said Nadezhda Suddenok in court, where the issue of her arrest was discussed.
The Governor of the Kemerovo Region Aman Tuleyev and his deputies transferred their daily earnings to the families of those who died in a fire to the Fund. According to the Tuleyev income declaration for 2016, he earned 2 million rubles. Thus, his one -day earnings then amounted to about $ 100
Igor Vostrikov, who lost his wife, sister and three daughters in a fire, claims that the doors to the cinema, where the majority of the victims turned out to be, were indeed locked, but did this one of the visitors in him, hoping to prevent carbon monoxide from the stairs and wait for the firefighters. According to Vostrikov, he gained access to the recordings of surveillance cameras.
However, there are other versions - Polozinenko said in court that the door was locked: “As far as I know from my sources, the door halls were closed with keys. The distributors have a rule - to close so that the "hares" do not leak. This man closed. And he ran away. "
Why the alarm did not work
The versions about the reasons why the fire alarm did not work is varying - all participants in the events shift the guilt of each other. Even during Putin’s visit to Kemerovo, the head of the UK, Alexander Bastrykin, informed him that the alarm did not work since March 19, that is, almost a week, and no one was engaged in its repair. The security guard of the shopping complex, as soon as the smoke appeared, did not turn on the warning system that worked, unlike alarm. “We cannot give this a reasonable explanation, some kind of unprepared person,” Bastrykin said.
All participants in the events shift the guilt for the non -working alarm on each other. According to SK, she did not work for a week. According to the service company - it was turned off 15 minutes before the fire. The guard says that he did not turn off anything
The guard Sergei Antyushin himself, according to his father, did not turn off the alarm, but reported to the authorities that she was not working. “The son complained that the alarm was all the time falsely. He reported this to the superiors, and in the end someone turned it off. This happened on March 18. At the same time, the son himself could not disconnect her, because he did not even know how to do this. When he saw on the screen that he had fallen smoke, he ran to the fourth floor. I ran or not, I don't know. In addition to him, the shift had two more Chop employees. For such a huge area, this is negligible. They couldn’t do anything, ”said Antyushin Sr ..
At the same time, the head of the company's fire safety system at the Winter Cherry shopping center Igor Polozinenko claims that the system was in good condition, but it was turned off 15 minutes before the fire. “As of March 25, 2018, at 15:55, the system was in a technically working state. As far as I know, the system was disconnected by the physically representative of the security ... The main reason why it did not work is the human factor, ”he said . Polozinenko also said that the company's technician on March 20 scheduledly checked the system with photofixation and it was serviceable.
