All roads to Tsaritsino are blocked, the reserve is closed at least until tomorrow. The area is closed and an evacuation is underway. Now they write to me that there was not a single police unit in reserve to ensure control of the situation and public safety. Moreover, at the checkpoints the security did not really look for visitors and did not react in any way to the activation of metal detectors. According to eyewitnesses, the frames of the people were constantly creaking, but the security team did not notice this and indifferently let in visitors who could bring anything. In the park itself today, as expected on a day off, there were many visitors: regular vacationers, groups of Chinese tourists, school trips. There could have been many victims if there had been an attack.
