The fire is already a kilometer away from the winery.
The area of the fire near Gelendzhik in Russia's Krasnodar region, which started after a drone attack, has increased. The forest is burning already a kilometer away from the winery of Russian dictator Vladimir Putin.
About it writes The Insider.
The fire near the village of Krinitsa broke out in the morning on Thursday, August 28, and as of Friday morning its area had expanded to 41.5 hectares. The village is located just ten kilometers in a straight line from Vladimir Putin's palace on Cape Idokopas. According to the publication "Important Stories" one of the hotbeds of fire may be 3-4 kilometers from the residence.
In turn, The Insider reports that another hotbed of fire was recorded less than a kilometer from the winery of the Russian dictator Krinitsa.
According to a fire map from NASA FIRMS, the forest is burning just 850 meters away.
In the investigative documentary "Palace for Putin. The Story of the Biggest Bribe," released in January 2021, the winery was mentioned under the name Old Provence. And it was for her that gold-plated Italian toilet brushes were purchased, The Insider recalled.
The residence on Cape Idokopas was built in 2005-2010 on the Black Sea coast near Gelendzhik.
The Anti-Corruption Foundation's investigation allegedly uncovered a scheme to finance the palace's construction and showed its interiors. The 17,691-square-meter residence reportedly has its own theater with boxes, a room with slot machines, a "hookah room" with a pole, a casino and an aquadisco.
In May 2024, journalists from the publication Project reported that since Alexei Navalny made a film about Vladimir Putin's palace, the structure has changed significantly. The facility is still intended for the Kremlin dictator. However, the entertainment areas disappeared after the reconstruction, while at the same time there were rooms for paintings with battle scenes and a real palace church with an icon of St. Vladimir.
"He seems to be obsessed with war and religion," the authors of the investigation noted.
In particular, the former game room became a real church with an iconostasis and a wooden throne.
