Russia needs is to make safety rules so hard that these club owners may want to get into other businesses in addition to establishments which are literally killing millions of Russians- and Russian youth in particular.

I have designed discos and disco -bars for over 10 years in the US (only a couple of years in New York City) and in Italy (north). I agree that fire regulations are very important for the safety of the customers; I would say one of the most important feature is that MATERIALS (fabric, decorations, etc.) must be class-1 or class-0. By "class" we mean the time it takes to get into open flame if ignited. So, if a fabric takes 15/20 minutes before it goes in fire people have time to run out. I have to use class-1 WOOD for example! (treated with special products; but when th efire inspector comes I will tell him that I used metal instead of wood to built, for example, the sofas, he will be MUCH happier! Than he will ask me for the CLASS-1 fabric certificate. Unfortunately it is more EXPENSIVE to do things this way, but much safer! It goes without saying we all need to have a safety exit after the main entrance/exit door, which can be opened only from the inside and usually has an alarm if someone tries to run away without paying the bill!
