'Terror on the dancefloor: At least 15 dead and dozens of others injured after nightclub inferno in Russia sparked by 'military serviceman, 23, who fired a flare gun into the ceiling'
2022-11-05
[MAIL] Russian police have detained a man suspected of starting a fire at a bar that killed at least 15 people after he reportedly fired a 'flare gun' on the dance floor.

The man was detained after the fire broke out at the 'Polygon' bar in Kostroma in the early hours of Saturday morning.

Police said at least 15 people were killed, and others injured.

The man reportedly arrested was a 23-year-old married man named Stanislav Ionkin. He was detained on suspicion of starting the fire when he fired the flare gun into the ceiling of the night club.

Other reports described a fight inside the club which turned into a 'mass brawl'.

Fire fighters fought through the early hours to put out the blaze at the bar around 300 kilometres (180 miles) northeast of Moscow.

A video from Mash media showed military serviceman Stanislav Ionkin being detained by police over the night club fire.

#6  The Moscow one ended in a stabbing and cops cleared out the people, who were by the way still trying to dance.

"Love like you will never get hurt, dance like no one is stabbing."
My question is: Mayhem aside, did you have fun?

#5   two Russian nightclubs. Once in Moscow and the other in Volgograd.

I now have questions to ask Mr. Wife, who generally doesn’t tell me enough detail to make me worry unnecessarily, as he defines it...

#3  I have been to two Russian nightclubs. Once in Moscow and the other in Volgograd. The Moscow one ended in a stabbing and cops cleared out the people, who were by the way still trying to dance. The Volgograd one ended in a giant free-for-all that it took a lot of ducking and weaving to get out of without a scratch.
