Constructed across the Kerch Strait, the bridge may collapse in the near future, since it is built in a "hellish place". This opinion was expressed by the senior researcher of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the Institute of Water Problems of the Russian Academy of Sciences Yuri Medovar, ZIK reports.

"The geological conditions in the Kerch Strait are such that one can not build anything there. There is such a thing as building norms and rules that can not be violated. In these SNIPs until 2017 it was pointed out that the construction of arch bridges in seismic regions, to which the Crimea belongs, is possible only on a rocky base. And here are semi-solid Maikop clays, which do not carry a load, "he said..

Moreover, according to Medovar, the bridge is a "purely political decision".

"This bridge - I'm just afraid that everything is up to the first natural cataclysm, and then it will be possible to put a cross on it. He is a purely political decision. Not economic, and not expedient, "he stressed..

Also Medovar specified that in the place where the Crimean bridge is built "everything is there": from geothermal problems to ice-sheets.

Incidentally, in the Washington edition of Washington Examiner responded to accusations of Russians regarding the call of journalist Tom Rogan to blow up the Crimean bridge. In Russia Rogan's words were accepted as a call to terrorist activity and opened criminal case against a journalist.

The text "Our Response to Russia's Threats Against Our Journalists" states that Rogan did not call for terrorism and stated that it was necessary to avoid victims.
