Barmakov told RT that he heard the first shots from the Expo corridor. At first I didn't understand what was happening. I went into the foyer, where the sounds became louder. I saw that people were running and led everyone along.
Near the stairs, Barmakov met Andrei Syropyatov, the head of the organization where student wardrobe workers and ticket takers are employed. From the dialogue with him, he realized that a terrorist attack had occurred. In the service corridor, he said, there were a lot of people.
“He [Andrey] started shouting for everyone to come inside. Actually, like me. Then I went inside. I shouted something like that for people to follow me. And we went to the stairs that led upstairs - to the service exit to the street,” he shared
At the moment, four defendants in the case of the terrorist attack in Crocus City Hall are sitting in the Lefortovo pre-trial detention center.
The death toll from the attack, according to the latest data, has reached 140.
