Kremlin was on fire in Moscow, but not that one. Area of ​​​​fire was 1,000 square meters

On the night of May 13, a fire broke out on the territory of the cultural and entertainment complex "Kremlin in Izmailovo" in Moscow. According to russian media, the area of ​​​​fire increased from approximately 200 to 1,000 square meters.

This is reported by russian media.

The fire broke out on the evening of May 12. The fire covered the roof of one of the administrative buildings of the tourist complex, located in the east of the russian capital.

Russian Telegram channels report that, according to preliminary information, the fire started in the technical room of the quests near the museum complex. Among the preliminary reasons, a short circuit and a malfunction in the electrical wiring are mentioned.

During the fire, rescuers evacuated five people. More than 100 emergency services personnel and 30 pieces of equipment were involved in extinguishing the fire.

What is the "Kremlin in Izmailovo"

"Kremlin in Izmailovo" is not a historical Kremlin, but a modern cultural and entertainment complex in the east of Moscow, built in 1998-2007. It was built next to the royal estate of Izmailovo, but the complex itself is a "new development" - a decorative reconstruction in the style of russian architecture of the 16th-17th centuries.

Most of the buildings in the complex are wooden stylizations of ancient russian architecture. The territory houses museums, a fair, workshops, cafes and entertainment spaces for tourists.

The historical estate of Izmailovo really existed from the 16th-17th centuries, but the modern "Kremlin" is not an authentic monument of that era. It was created after the collapse of the USSR as a tourist and commercial project.

Recall that on the night of May 8, drones attacked several regions of russia at once. Explosions were heard in Moscow, Yaroslavl and Rostov-on-Don. Against the background of the attacks, russian airports imposed flight restrictions.
