The Russian Geographical Society expresses deepest condolences to the families and friends of those who died or were injured in a tragic fire in the Zimnyaya Vishnya (Winter Cherry) shopping centre in Kemerovo.
It’s a great loss for the families and a great tragedy for the whole county. It is particularly painful that most victims were children.
On these difficult days, we are united in our common suffering. We express our sincere wish that those injured may recover speedily.
We will never forget!
