Dear countrymen. We all experience the terrible tragedy that occurred in Kemerovo 25 March. We have lost 64 man and most of them are children. Our kids.

And you did it all. And I am immensely grateful. Quite honestly, as before an icon, I can tell you that in my work I was always guided by the interests of our country, Russia and our region,
said the governor.
Thanks again to everyone. For the fact that they were always there, in the grief of joy, and take a bow. Today, now I want to tell you, I submitted a letter of resignation to the President of the Russian Federation. Peace and good to you and your families. May the Lord protect each of you and our native Kuznetsk land,
