Soupçon de peste en Sibérie : plus le Kremlin tente de rassurer, plus l’inquiétude grandit
Les autorités assurent que la mort d’une employée d’un laboratoire d’Irkoutsk n’a pas été provoquée par le bacille. Mais l’ampleur des mesures de quarantaine, les déclarations officielles contradictoires et la censure de l’information suscitent des interrogations.
