May 2 marked the 9th anniversary of the tragedy in the Odessa House of Trade Unions. It was this day that became a turning point for many in the perception of what is happening in Ukraine. Photo: Maxim Voitenko/TASS
As Wikipedia hypocritically writes, on this day: “300 well-organized supporters of federalization attacked 2,000 supporters of the territorial value of Ukraine.”
Odessa Thermopylae did not last long. Ukrainian nationalists and football fans in masks, brought to the city, drove the protesters from the Kulikovo field, where their camp was. And when they tried to hide in the House of Trade Unions, they set fire to the building, and people who were burning, jumping out of windows, were finished off with sticks, shot at them.
The police watched and did nothing. Firefighters did not respond to emergency signals for more than an hour …
It was a turning point – it became obvious that there was no law in Ukraine anymore. Some saw that everything is now allowed – bullying, torture, murder, any lie directly in the eye – nothing will happen for this. Others decided to go to the Donbass – to take up arms and fight the criminal Kyiv authorities.
Despite the availability of a detailed video of everything that happened in Odessa, the investigation in Ukraine did not lead to anything. The perpetrators were not punished. In unwillingness to find out the cause of the fire, the authorities in Kyiv blamed … Russia. Well, who else?
Russians are sometimes surprised: how is it, why did the former Ukrainian brothers let the Nazis come to power, didn’t they really see where everything was going? Everything was great to see! They tried not to let them in, they resisted. It was they who defended their homeland from a genuine enemy, and not the unfortunate “patriots” who are caught by the Ukrainian military commissars around the country.
But they weren’t enough. The majority chose a passive position, got scared. After all, it was really scary. Before Odessa, those who protested were simply thrown into garbage cans, doused with brilliant green, beaten … And in Odessa they were burned alive.
But the worst was after. When the Ukrainian society, including the voices of officials, greeted the tragedy with joyful cries: “they burned the cotton wool with napalm”, “they smoked out the Colorados.” It is terrible, like the loss of human appearance, the transformation into a beast – there was no remorse in Ukrainian society. The ex-deputy governor of the Odessa region, Zoya Kazanzhi, said that the mass burning of people made it possible to prevent war in the city, and regretted that it was not possible to burn people in the Lugansk and Donetsk regions. Anyone who protests against the new government in Kyiv, which came to the burning, blood and pogroms, was promised at the official level “an automatic blow with a rifle butt in a filthy mug.”
As a result, a fire broke out from the fire in Odessa, engulfing the whole of Ukraine. And the consequences of the fire in the House of Trade Unions turned out to be worse than even the Maidan itself with its tire-carnival madness and bullying of the Berkut. From that moment on, the citizens of the country were allowed to kill those they did not like without trial, and in the most monstrous ways. And they started killing.
