Russian President
Vladimir Putin has visited the memorial set up by
Kemerovo residents across from the shopping mall that became a deadly trap for 64 people on Sunday, most of whom were children.
The Russian president laid a bouquet flowers – red roses – next to teddy bears and other toys that locals have continued to bring in since early Monday. The fatal
fire, which is one of the deadliest in the post-Soviet era of Russia, completely destroyed the Kemerovo shopping center.
