Director of the Listvyazhnaya mine in the Kemerovo region, in which 52 people died , ignored the requirements of safety at work. Denis Timokhin, a former miner of the fourth-grade longwall face, told the Lenta.ru correspondent about this.
“There were problems in everything. The director only needed coal mining. Nothing more. And what percentage there [concentration] of methane [in the face], or something else, did not bother him, “he said.
