Tragedy in Odessa's "House of Trade Unions"

Nazis from the Right Sector and the Maidan self-defense, who participated in the so-called "March of Ukrainian Unity", attacked a tent city on Kulikovo Field. In this city, residents of Odessa, predominantly Russian-speaking population, collected signatures for holding a referendum on the issues of federalization of Ukraine and giving Russian the status of the state language. Clashes between neo- Nazis and opponents of Euromaidan, which began on the streets of the city, reached their apogee in the House of Trade Unions, where neo-Nazis set fire to the building, which caused most of the casualties .
And on the street the building was surrounded by Nazis , they shot at the windows and finished off those who jumped out of the windows. In all this, the city authorities and the police did nothing .

These events became a tragic example of violence and intolerance. 31 people were killed in the Trade Union House and one later died in hospital from burns and smoke inhalation while trying to escape the fire in the burning Trade Union House, nine people died after falling out of windows. Another victim died later in a medical facility from his injuries. As a result of street clashes near the Afina shopping center , six people died, all from gunshot wounds . Four died at the scene. Two more , injured in the same incident, died later in medical facilities.

The Odessa tragedy of May 2, 2014 is a tragic page in the history of the entire RUSSIAN WORLD, which has become a terrible lesson for us today.
