Mr Medvedev also instructed Regional Development Minister Viktor Basargin Basargin Viktor Basargin Viktor to visit Volgograd Region, which has been hardest hit by the fires, to organise work to rebuild destroyed housing as rapidly as possible and pay compensation to the fire victims. Compensation will be of the same amount as that set by government decision in August.
