Putin blames Russia mall fire on 'criminal negligence'
Tass said the fire started on the top floor, but the cause wasn't immediately known. Some 300 firefighters and rescue personnel were rushed to the scene and the fire was brought under control around 1730 GMT, local emergency officials said.
Putin, comfortably re-elected only this month, laid flowers at a memorial to the victims in the coal-producing region, about 3,600 km (2,200 miles) east of Moscow, before chairing a meeting and declaring Wednesday a national day of mourning.
Other reports say that there were no fire alarms fitted in the mall which had very few windows and only one main staircase.
The funerals - for some of the 27 identified victims - included those of a grandmother and two children.
Russia's ambassador to the US accused the White House of making the Kemerovo mall fire in which dozens of children died "more painful" by announcing the expulsion of 60 Russian diplomats in the aftermath of the tragedy. Numerous victims were children who died in a locked movie theatre after making desperate calls for help.

Wednesday was declared a day of mourning in Russian Federation, and thousands of people have been bringing flowers and stuffed toys to makeshift memorials across the country.
The fire was extinguished on Monday morning after burning through the night.
Some trapped inside the Winter Cherry complex had no other escape route, according to Russia's Investigative Committee, which announced Monday that according to preliminary data, there were "serious violations" of safety procedures. Russian media reported the doors had been locked.
Russia's federal officials have expressed similar anti-opposition views in the wake of the deadly tragedy. Around ten people are still missing after the blaze broke out on Sunday afternoon, when the mall was packed with shoppers and cinema goers.
