• If Volk’s statement is true, then the police should have been at Crocus already at 20:06 - 7 minutes before the terrorists left the building.
• According to reports on agency tapes, law enforcement officers could have arrived at the hall later than Volk said. TASS only wrote at 20:33 that SOBR and OMON were alerted, and at 21:06 - that they arrived at the scene. The “Caution, Media” journalist reported the start of the assault only at 21:39.
• The nearest Ministry of Internal Affairs point to the site of the terrorist attack is located in the building next to Crocus (Crocus-Expo) - this is the police department of the Pavshino microdistrict. Judging by the fact that the head of the department, Roman Grinenko, receives citizens there every week and orders food delivery there (according to leaks), the department is working. The telegram channel “VChK-OGPU” reported that at the time of the terrorist attack the department was staffed, but “no one went to protect civilians.” The “Agency” got through to Roman Grinenko, but he did not talk to the journalist.
