The Polygon club, owned by Kostroma deputy Ikhtiyar Mirzoev, has not been checked for fire safety for nine years.
In 2013, the institution was closed for renovation. According to the regulations, employees of the Ministry of Emergency Situations were supposed to come with an inspection in 2016. But then a moratorium was introduced on scheduled business inspections. So everything has been rescheduled. For the same period of three years.
When the inspectors returned in 2019, the management of Polygon stated that they allegedly did not carry out commercial activities, which means that there should not be any inspections. From the word “absolutely”. Soon the pandemic began – and everything was forgotten. Today, dozens have been injured and 15 visitors have died there. Many could not get out because the evacuation exits were closed. The video shows footage from the club a few minutes before the tragedy.
