2/ The VChK-OGPU Telegram channel has highlighted numerous issues with the response of the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations (MChS). The ministry's responses to recent industrial emergencies have come under similar criticism.

3/ It implies that the fire response may itself have caused casualties. Among the questions raised by the channel:

"Where was [the Minister of Emergency Situations], why didn’t he come? Who was the real leader of the fire response?

4/ "Why was the data on the facility not available, where are the safety data sheets of the Crocus City facilities, which Deputy Minister Yatsutsenko boasts so much about?

Why wasn’t the operation led by at least some people with experience in extinguishing objects of this kind?

5/ "Why did [Deputy Minister Anatoly] Suprunovsky, who has nothing to do with mountain rescues at all, end up at the Pioneer mine [rescue of trapped miners] and why was he not transferred to extinguish the fire?

6/ "Why was NO ONE from the top management of the Ministry of Emergency Situations present at the fire until one in the morning, when the area of ​​the fire was already more than 12,000 square meters and the roof had already collapsed?

7/ "Why do firefighters say that the rescue operation was actually led by the minister’s adviser [Daniil] Martynov, a person without experience and the appropriate clearances?

8/ "And, finally, why was the command given to extinguish the object in such a way as if there were and could not be people there, as if it were a Wildberries warehouse?" /end
