What happened?
““The roof is collapsing! Hurry to the gate!”
The videos coming from the now completely destroyed “Wildberries” warehouse in Sankt Petersburg show understandably absolute chaos among the workers. But what is mind boggling is that many workers claim that they got held up by security because of the fear of theft.
Reportedly 100,000 square meters (25 acres) have been burnt down.”’

70 apartment buildings?
don’t know.
Then, who really cares about him?

First wildcard, then Lieutenant Colonel Chornobryvyi Alexander Ivanovich.
I just can’t take all this sadness.
I may need to watch some NFL in an hour to cheer myself up.
“Russia: Wildberries employees burned down the 100,000m² (25 acres) warehouse in Saint Petersburg in response to Putin’s fascist raids at the location earlier today - masses of workers were arrested to be sent to fight in Ukraine. Wildberries is Russia’s Amazon ripoff.”
Lots of cool footage that will keep analysts busy for a few hours.
I will say this. I can't imagine they would be attaching bombs to the kits in the factory so a lot of work went into designing the set, if you know what I mean.
I will also note the Gerasimov could not make the field trip...

Video at the link in not worth watching.
However...I will also note the Gerasimov could not make the field trip...
“Half of Rostov 🇷🇺, the 11th largest city in the country, has been without electricity, heating, or water for hours.
The speaker says “it’s a flash mob - everyone is using flashlights.””
A long overdue ZOT, IMHO.
Russian Rostov reports a massive blackout.
According to the local media, dozens of buildings are without electricity, water and heating.
Bataysk in Rostov region has no electricity, as well.

Putin's press secretary Peskov explained the mass accidents on heating grids across the country by "abnormal frosts" and the obsolescence of the housing and utilities systems. " Titanic efforts are being made to upgrade the housing and utilities systems, but it is impossible to upgrade all pipes in 10-15 years," Peskov said.
Titanic efforts
We all know what happened to the Titanic.
We could send them our homeless. Illegal immigrants too. I hear the Uyghurs are overworked and need some help! Also, why send fentanyl all the way to the USA when we are willing to ship the buyers to the source?
-- Cameras and fire alarms were turned off: The fire alarm was turned off. The cameras in the warehouses in Shushary were turned off 30 minutes before the fire. The Investigative Committee has already opened three criminal cases. The instigators of the fight and the looters are identified.
-- Presumptive caused is ethnic rivalries between Caucasians and Central Asians: People from two post-Soviet republics are suspected of being involved in a fire at a warehouse in Shushary (St. Petersburg). The Caucasian diaspora, feeling at home in St. Petersburg, provoked the Central Asian diaspora into conflict with stabbings and shootings.
By the time the police intervened, the warehouse was already on fire and the massacre continued. The cameras recorded huge thefts during the evacuation, for the sake of which it is possible that the whole process was started in order to organize looting.
A significant part of expensive goods was stolen. The rest burned down. The “elders” who arrived from both diasporas did not allow the firefighters, who were already quite late, to enter for a long time. Then everything was caught on video and spread across the Internet.
Smolny is urgently deciding which of the two parties is to blame.

I am confident that the same thing is happening somewhere in Alabama.
