Employees of centralized religious organizations and the organizers of pilgrimage, employees of museums and persons leading excursions in the framework of educational activities were exempted from certification.

In a conversation with RBC, Digger Mikhail Shuisky said that there are no documents governing underground excursions, and after the tragedy, after the tragedy, they proposed to introduce criminal liability for illegal penetration of underground facilities.

Representatives of the "satellite" did not respond to calls and requests of "Paper" .
