Gary Aitkenhead is the head of the Porton Down lab
The Central Electoral Commission (CEC) handed today the official certificate as victor of Russian presidency to Vladimir Putin, who totaled 76.69 percent of the votes, way above the result of the other seven candidates.
Aman Tuleyev, 73, who had been in his post in Kemerovo for nearly 21 years and was a loyal ally of Vladimir Putin said in a video address that he had asked the president if he could leave.
According to Russian Emergency Service, 64 people died in the fire, 41 of them were children.
The tragedy - in which some parents lost all their children - plunged Russian Federation into shock. He was the governor of Kemerovo region for 20 years. Tuleyev apologised to the president over the rally - where protesters also called for Putin's resignation - calling its organisers troublemakers.

Justice Department Introduces Quota for Immigration Judges to Clear Cases
But the judges' union said issuing a quota to obtain a satisfactory rating is an "unprecedented" attack of judicial independence. O'Malley said the department understands some cases can be complex and that judges who fail to meet the quota can appeal.
Investigators said last week that fire exits had been illegally blocked, the public address system was not switched on, the alarm system was broken, and children had been locked inside cinemas. "With such a heavy burden, it's impossible to work as the governor", said Tuleyev, who governed the region for more than two decades. The ailing Tuleyev had always been expected to leave the post.
Tuleyev, who first became governor in the era of President Boris Yeltsin in 1997, is one of Russia's longest-serving top officials.
Putin accepted Tuleyev's resignation on Sunday and appointed his deputy Sergei Tsivilyov as acting governor.
He was credited with helping pacify the region which was beset by miners' strikes in the turbulent 1990s but had come to symbolize the worst excesses of authoritarianism in his later years, critics say.
