She had not yet received an official conclusion on her daughter’s death. She disputed the broken-vial account, described Darya as a hardworking employee and considered her care inadequate. She said the funeral had not yet taken place.

This is the newsroom’s account of an interview. Her assessment of treatment and vial safety is not a medical finding or a technical investigation. The article provides no supporting medical documents and does not confirm plague.

The account concerns 5 October. Glubina’s HTML (HyperText Markup Language, the page’s markup language) dates publication to 6 October, 11:13:45 with a +03:00 offset: 16:13:45 in Irkutsk. The byline is Lena; a full name was not established. The original was added to this research on 8 October.
