She is a graduate of math and electronics institute in Moscow, a head of "Solidarity" organization, uniting the owners of small and medium business AND a journalist.
So yes, I believe she can understand the safety issues when it comes to construction, unlike the proverbial "janitor Ahmed."

You can not check every day. Exits open on day of check and close the next day. This is not a problem for current politicians. This is a problem of mentality. First of all, we need to change our attitude to security.

The CHANGE of mentality when it comes to safety issues is UP TO AUTHORITIES. When they care about public safety - that's what they do; FIND THE WAYS to implement the security measures. If they can't fulfill such important obligations, they need to be dismissed, and replaced with people who CAN DO their job. The reason they are NOT dismissed is precisely the corruption and the *ties* to Moscow. That's why someone like
Tuleev is not moving his fat a** from that governor's chair for twenty something years. He doesn't forget to express his "condolences" to Putin ( out of all people) in connection with the latest fire though.

Most likely it was a typical system. Support for the operation of this system is responsibility of owner of building. I think it's technically very difficult to control these moments.

Sure-sure.
But these "moments" are controlled in developed countries, you see.

Such problems should be solved systematically. I do not believe that this can be solved quickly and simply.

They won't be solved "systematically" under Putin. Because as I've already said - he is the umbrella for all this corruption.
Rallies are necessary to express a protest against the authorities actions ( or rather the lack of actions in this case.)
I am looking.
Here is the major difference that I see between Russia and Ukraine ( in political sense of it)
In Ukraine the "anti-western," pro-Russian forces and basically "left" forces ( let's put it this way) were represented by Yanukovich. The "pro-western" (i.e. "right" forces are represented by Poroshenko and are directly connected to American government and American interests.
In Russia ( interestingly enough) the "corporate" ( i.e the "right forces") were yet again connected to Putin and the US ( since his team was extremely interested in the whole "global trade" schemes. And "globalism" works first of all in American interests.) Same can be said about any other "right-wing" politicians in Russia, Navalny including.
The "left" forces in Russia however are not connected to anyone. This is the only independent force, acting in the national interests of Russia.
So unlike Ukraine, that's completely dependent on the "outer" ( i.e. external) forces, Russia is not.
So here lays your answer.

These problems do not have a simple solution. In every country there is corruption.

Right. The DEGREE of corruption makes all the difference though.
Because THERE IS a difference between the common cold and a cancer, you see.

He is trying to minimize loss of reputation. This is normal. It would be worse if he stayed in Moscow.

I am not talking about him showing up in Kemerovo with flowers, ( and avoiding addressing the crowd, that was calling out his name.)
I am talking about his whole show with "personal investigation." This stinks of PR a mile away.

Investigation takes several months. I think we should wait for the results.

Even if it takes "several months," what happened there ( judging by the eye witnessing) is unacceptable.

Ok, not on the central square in Kemerovo. But this or this was displeasingly.

Maxim... I was following the events in KEMEROVO, not what bloggers of the garden variety in Moscow were saying/doing.
As a person who received the political asylum from the Soviet system, I never thought I'd live to times, when I'd have to admit that Russian "left forces" make more sense than anyone else.
