Users of social networks suspected Ukrainian pranker Evgeniy Volnov of creating and spreading rumors about the deaths of hundreds of people in a fire at the Winter Cherry shopping center in Kemerovo, writes Life.

The blogger does not deny this information; he posted several videos on his channel. In the first of them, he telephoned the morgues of Kemerovo on the day of the tragedy, appearing to be a major of the Ministry of Emergency Situations. He further requires the morgue staff to prepare places for the three hundred bodies of those killed in the shopping center.

Under the video on his channel, Yevgeny Volnov wrote that in his tragedy, in his opinion, the people of Kemerovo themselves are to blame.

From a message from Evgeny Volnov: “Easily and naturally, I showed everyone the true reason for the wild frenzy in “Winter Cherry”. These are, first of all, Kemerovo residents who brought their city to this point.”

For two hours, the blogger took orders for cruel jokes from his subscribers. The cost of calling a pranker in Kemerovo was at the level of 500 rubles.

It should be noted that in the institutions of Kemerovo they state that they physically are not able to accommodate such a number of bodies. Moreover, one of the employees said that the Emergencies Ministry had already contacted him and warned him about the number from 60 to 70. To the remark of the employee of the morgue, Volnov instantly parried a set of reasons and demanded that information not be disclosed anywhere, especially in the media.

In addition, in another video, under the guise of the same major of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, he called friends and relatives of the dead. Taking advantage of the fact that people wanted to receive information about the fate of the victims of the fire, he simultaneously informed them that there were allegedly about two hundred dead.

As suggested by users of social networks, it is because of his actions that information about allegedly much more death toll began to spread in the city than it is said in official reports of the authorities.

In addition to Volnova, other bloggers rushed to earn money in Kemerovo, as on the most discussed topic. Today's most popular videos on YouTube devoted to the Kemerovo tragedy. Most of the views scored video, shot by the visitor inside the shopping center "Winter Cherry" immediately after the start of the fire, and in second place is the video blogger video Broksh titled “Fire in Kemerovo. What are silent media. During the day, more than 1,7 million people watched it.

“And, as always, only bloggers can bring the most truthful information to people,” says Broksch.

That is true, in his opinion, it is someone's correspondence found on the Internet, and scraps of someone's conversations, recorded by someone who knows and when it is not known. And the crowd is happy to be ready to pick them up and carry them further, to consider them real and relevant to what happened, without requiring any evidence, writes Riafan.

Kemerovo bloggers from the project Nemagia We went the same way and got more than 1,5 million views a day. At the beginning of their video, they posted phone conversations found on the Internet by some people, which viewers should identify as related to the Kemerovo tragedy, although there are no obvious signs that indicate this.

First, a certain man says that his friend Andryukha’s wife works in a hospital.

“Early in the morning, 150 people arrived, 148, followed by more than 20 more. There were 157, and they called not long ago and told us to prepare for another 80 people. There were only about 30 adults there, the rest were children, just think,” says the man.

Then a certain woman tells that in the morgue on the Volgograd 174 corpse.

“They can’t accept me anymore, they’re taking me from the Multidisciplinary Department, all the morgues are already overwhelmed. Parents are not allowed to attend the identification parade without first signing a non-disclosure agreement. Only then are they allowed to identify the children,” says the unknown woman.

Then another woman says that they brought the 170 corpses, the bags have already run out.

“There are about 400 people killed inside, 355. This is reported by the Ministry of Emergency Situations. Everyone was called, everyone was on duty at night. This is the number, girls. To be honest, I’m a little shocked,” says a female voice.

“Whether this is true or not, you decide for yourself, because we ourselves don’t know. We weren’t there, we just walked around,” Kemerovo bloggers say in their video.

In the meantime, from all the information that such bloggers have “unearthed,” there is one fact: such a horrific tragedy can raise your ratings. And people willingly believe fakes. Therefore, messages on social networks under the headings “What they are hiding from us” and “The authorities resign” spread very quickly. Among them were those claiming that what happened was a terrorist attack.

Having taken a recording from a surveillance camera, which shows how a young man with a black sports bag approached a children's trampoline in a shopping center, “threw something” on it and left, and after a short time a fire started, the author of the video states that it was a terrorist attack .

Blogger Hippy_end I noticed how this video about the “arsonist” was made. He found the original video and showed that the footage of the young man had been cropped and re-recorded from the screen to reduce clarity and create wishful thinking.
