Most of the comments are cursing the government (stolen all the money), the Putin (olympic games sucked everything), the church (rocket hit the celestial sphere), american jews (world government wants us to fail), the gays (... wtf?), and so on...But the comments on that video turned out to be mostly Russian with no KSP references.
That was certainly the first failure of such sort for decades - such an off-the-pad carousel is usually the fate of new rockets and pioneering days.
And worst thing is - it's not some new block-D, it's the proton itself.
My guess is - someone on the assembly line tossed a piece of trash into the engine's plumbing.
My uncle, who worked on Baikonur until retirement a few year ago says that these days the people working there are "educationless order-following dumbbell-heads, who have no clue about the big idea".
So the extra fuel on that one launch, so the trash in the plumbing on the other launch, so the whatever on this launch.
