Our correspondent Varvara Nevskaya is currently at Alexander Garden. She's live with us now.
- Greetings, Varvara. Have many people are there?
- Greetings. People are currently gathering in front of the Kerch Memorial located next to the Eternal Flame in Alexander Garden. They are bringing flowers, mostly carnations, as well as vigil lamps. The activists of the Young Guard were among the first to come here. The young compassionate people are about the same age as Vladislav Roslyakov, who's supposedly responsible for today's massacre at Kerch Polytechnical College.
Let's watch the placing of flowers at the Memorial of the Hero City of Kerch.
It's a great tragedy for our people. I'd like to emphasize the fact that many young people have come here. Students of schools and universities, they can't comprehend what could motivate a person to commit such a brutal crime, murdering their classmates and teachers. Let's listen to the comments by those compassionate souls who came here to honor those who died in the shooting or in the explosion at Kerch Polytechnical College.
"18 young people the same age as us died there. And I believe it's our duty as people to honor the memory of those who were killed in that appalling tragedy".
"You can never predict something like that. Nobody expected something like that to happen. We'd like to express our condolences to those who were killed".
"I really hope that all those responsible for the tragedy will be punished. I offer my condolences to the families of those who died or were injured".
Russian social media is also mourning together with those who went through this terrible tragedy in Kerch. Everyone is offering their condolences to the families of the dead. People are using hashtags #WeAreWithKerch and #PrayForKerch. People are mourning together in the common information field as well.
At Alexander Garden, people are continuing to come here to lay flowers and vigil lamps. We're going to stay here to monitor the situation.
- Thank you. Varvara Nevskaya on how Muscovites are mourning those killed at the Kerch College.
