Prigozhin explained why the Crocus security guards were unable to repel the terrorists

“They came in from the left side,” explains the producer

The monstrous tragedy in Crocus City left no one indifferent. Representatives of show business performed in this concert hall regularly. Joseph Prigogine and Valeria were also frequent guests there. Prigozhin told MK correspondents why the Crocus security guards were unable to repel the terrorists and prevent the tragedy.

“Representatives of the special services do not work in concert halls,” says Joseph. “Terrorists armed with machine guns came in and started shooting everyone, starting with the guards. Even if the Crocus guards had machine guns and pistols, it would not have helped. They were not ready for such things. They can’t stand with the trigger open all the time! Spectators will then stop going anywhere at all – this is a cultural event!

“Moreover, if you look at the videos that are on the Internet, they did not enter through the central passage, but from the metro, on the left side,” continues the producer. – No security will help here! They were not preparing for combat, understand. If you prepare, you will deflect the blow.

According to Prigozhin, the artists never had any questions about security at Crocus. Moreover, checks have become more stringent recently. Everyone was checked, including stars of the first magnitude.

“At Crocus, increased attention was paid to security issues,” explains Prigozhin. — There was always a lot of security. The last time they took our passports and forced us to take everything out of our bags and show the contents. Very thorough check. All artists without exception passed it.
