Gatekeepers News reports that the Ministry on Wednesday said Zinichev was in the Arctic to monitor large-scale drills and visited the construction site of a new fire station in Norilsk, as well as a search-and-rescue team in the area.
The 55-year-old died while rescuing a cameraman who slipped and fell into the water, according to Margarita Simonyan, Chief Editor of the state-funded RT news broadcaster.
“There were plenty of witnesses, but no one even had time to figure out what happened as Zinichev jumped into the water after the fallen man and landed on a protruding stone,” Simonyan tweeted.
The deceased had headed the Emergency Situations Ministry since 2018. He started his career as a KGB officer in the late 1980s and continued to serve in the Federal Security Service (FSB) in the post-Soviet period.
