@mikeesull You mean the ones that barricaded themselves in leaving no exit. Which then caught fire as both groups were lobbing molotovs at each other. 400 were in the building at the outset. 42 died so many were rescued by the people outside. There are pictures showing them erecting temporary scaffolding to try and help them. As the fire brigade never responded and neither did the police during the whole day of rioting. 6 had already died in the clashes beforehand. 2 of them pro maidan. 22 people have been charged from both sides with many still on the run. Including the police chief. The riots started when anti maidan protestors attacked a pro maidan march through the city centre who were bolstered by a large contingent of visiting football fans. The larger pro maidan group eventually started to chase their opponents back to the building where the tragedy happened.

@Memovox What you mean the state funded putin bubble bias? 1.5 billion usd/112 billion rubles a year. Half of it on state tv/radio and the rest on RT etc. Been tripled since the invasion. Keeps all you employed at the st petersburg troll farm happy i guess.

@gen_x_dad Apart from arriving in a van full of placards, and also, tie wraps which are commonly used by protestors to tie themselves to things. So the police thought they were going to be used to block the procession. A new law was passed by government just before the coronation to prevent this kind of thing from happening. Due to all the climate protestors attaching themselves to things preventing ordinary people from going about their business over recent times. I also saw videos of pro and anti royalists squaring up to each other among the big crowds with lots of families and children around them. So the prevention of violence has to be taken into account by the police as well. Confrontational demonstrating is not the same as peaceful demonstrating. Why didnt they organise a peaceful demonstration ahead of time with the police? Nah they gotta go and try to spoil the party instead.
