SAMARA, Feb 8 - RIA News. The governor of the Ulyanovsk region Sergey Morozov asked the police to find and punish the authors of the fake [hoax] about the explosion of the reactor at the site of the Research Institute of Atomic Reactors (NIIAR) in Dimitrovgrad.
On the page on Instagram, the head of the region announced the distribution of a fake video about the disaster in the NIIAR in messengers and social networks. The video is accompanied by a report on the "explosion of an atomic reactor", which is why the radiation background is allegedly exceeded in Ulyanovsk. Morozov said that shots were taken from a fire at a refinery in Komsomolsk-on-Amur in October last year.

"Such false messages are spread by people who earn on hype, on human fear and panic. I appealed to law enforcement agencies with a request to find and punish these people," the governor wrote.
He recalled that such actions provided for criminal liability. Morozov emphasized that the situation at the institute is regular, and all indicators of dosimeters anywhere in the region are normal.
“I myself live here, my family lives here, my children. And I want to assure that if there were at least some threat to the life and health of people, our families, we would make every effort to save everyone, among them, they organized a timely warning of the danger. But there is no danger, just as there is no accident or other emergency situation on the territory of the NIIAR, "concluded Morozov.

Bottom line: The region's governor reports that what we saw is a social media hoax.
