Clubbers at a foam party in Archangel ended up in hospital with chemical burns to their eyes, Itar-Tass reported.
On Sunday, 36 people were taken from the nightclub, M33, to the local hospital where they were given painkillers and had their eyes washed, doctor Vladimir Kabanov said.
The victims are still in hospital receiving treatment, according to several sources.
No reports regarding the incident have been received by the police, but an investigation is underway, the local Interior Ministry said.
Until recently, M33 was associated with former United Russia deputy Vladimir Krupchaka, who was a regular at the club, RBC Daily reported.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
