Tragedy

After the tragedy in Kemerovo, Russian President Vladimir Putin dismissed the then acting governor Aman Tuleev and appointed Sergei Tsivilev, the interim acting governor, to his position.

Tsivilev's appointment took place after the fire that happened on March 25 in the Zimnyaya Vishnya shopping center. On that day, a fire took place, during which 64 lives were lost, 41 of them were burned down. Throughout the CIS, actions were held in memory of the victims, and in Kemerovo itself the situation escalated to the limit in those days. People demanded to find those responsible for what happened. Vladimir Putin came to a meeting with the residents of Kemerovo and promised to punish everyone involved in the tragedy. National mourning was declared throughout the country.

People saw the incumbent governor Aman Tuleyev as the culprit. The governor did not come to meet the people, did not express condolences, and called all the protesters "permanent buzoters."

Desperate people insistently demanded Tuleyev's resignation, gathering at the city administration. There were also quite a few people who decided that it was possible to carry out a coup under the guise of protesters. Since Tuleyev refused to go out to the people, Sergei Tsivilev came out.

As a result, on April 1, Tsivilev was appointed interim governor, and Tuleyev was dismissed.
