Kirill Smolyaninov is the author of the video that captures the first minutes of the attack. According to the man, before the shooting began, he was near the entrance, from where the terrorists later entered.
“The only injury I received was when my fingers were cut off by scattered glass... And then I even did something stupid, of course. After crawling a bit, I climbed out again and started filming. There was no shock. I don't know why,” the man recalls.
