marks a year since the tragedy in Odessa. Today, we remember the victims of the fire and massacre that the radicals staged in the House of Trade Unions of May 2, 2014 – 48 killed (this is only according to official figures), hundreds of victims.
At the very place now flowers and candles. Commemorative events will take place at an unprecedented gathering of the security forces: their more than three thousand. More on the eve of Odessa pulled SBU commandos and Interior Ministry units, plus heavy machinery. Held a demonstration looks at Kulikovo field.
To get there today, you have to walk through a metal detector. Also, there is the protection of bears “Right Sector” – this organization is prohibited in Russia as an extremist.
In just a few days before the anniversary of the tragedy in Odessa passed stripping: a new wave of arrests of civil society leaders, the opposition and even their relatives. People are intimidated.
The investigation of the tragedy in Odessa – a “mockery of justice”, once again the Russian Foreign Ministry said. And while the perpetrators are not punished, democracy in Kiev – is not nothing but a fiction.
Guilty Ukrainian authorities call Antimaydana supporters, stating that they set fire to themselves. Although there are frames, which can be clearly seen that the building from the street throw firebombs, and those who tried to escape from a burning building, to achieve. I still do not fit in the head, how is it possible in Europe in the XXI century. It is really horrible shots.
The shooting flaming House of Trade Unions, literally shocked the world. In the eyes of millions of affected footage horror and pain. But this is unlikely to give even a remote idea that people feel trapped inside, burning alive and choking black smoke.
To escape, Yuri Pedyashu had to jump from the third floor. The crunch of their own broken bones – a sound that can hardly be forgotten. Like what made to step out of the window.
“I have the feeling that his eyes gouged out. Just flew in the air could such as if it is rubber, oil or something, and it made it impossible to see anything. In general,” – he said.
A few months in the hospital. Yuri says he was lucky twice – first when it is not finished off as much right under the windows, and then – when doctors saved, and after breaking three vertebrae, he could walk.
But the fact that he and others who had taken refuge in the House of Trade Unions nationalists wanted to burn alive, Yuri has no doubts, despite the findings of the official investigation, which, by the way, there is no word on why people literally suffocated second, and what it is the substance could cause suffocation. The report of the prosecutor’s office – a common word.
“any evidence of planned fire in the House of Trade Unions has been established. The fire was the result of the use of incendiary rioters” – said First Deputy Prosecutor General of Ukraine Volodymyr Guzyr.
clarifying questions – it turns out there so that people set fire to themselves, seems to put the Deputy Prosecutor General of Ukraine in deadlock.
“Do not set fire to themselves, and themselves, we say started a fire inside,” – he said.
So – yes and no. But it is unlikely to make a similar explanation may be dead in the House of Trade Unions. 48 people will never tell what happened.
“Every morning, I stroked his photograph on the head. He was with me. He’s the last time we had seen, so I kiss and hug, so smooch! And now I know that he said goodbye to me, “- says the mother of the deceased Ivan Milev Tamara Marikoda.
A year ago, Tamara Petrovna lost son. Ivan Milev was only 33, the eldest of two twin brothers. Relatives were looking for him at the Odessa hospital a few days after the tragedy, we hoped to find alive. All this year they are trying to achieve by the investigator at least some answers, but all in vain.
“I said to him after a lot of video, you can see that running around with axes, with chains, throw” Molotov cocktails. “It’s all there in the video. He said, give the source code. You see, it’s me must seek the source, rather than a consequence. That is relevant to this case, “- says Tamara Marikoda.
Witnesses of the tragedy clearly did not feel safe. Yuri Didenko on the memory of the events of May 2 scars from burns all over his body. Most recently, he and his family moved to Russia, because to stay in Odessa was impossible.
“There are still normal among the police officers who had just been warned that I write, all conversations are recorded. All stitched – is such a folder, the case. Just yesterday I came, but I could not come – yesterday Odessa were rounded up, “- he said.
Such stories – dozens. Many of those who do not believe the data of the official investigation, had to flee from the Ukraine. One of them – the deputy of the Odessa Regional Council Alexey Albu. He was also in the House of Trade Unions, and then tried to challenge the conclusions of the experts, who said the dead there suffocated by carbon monoxide or broken in the fall. Probably for this, and it declared wanted.
“There is analysis of the death of Vadim Popuri. It is the youngest participant. There is a photograph as he descends from the second floor. Again, in the report” experts “it is considered broken, but you can see how it goes down in the second floor, and there are pictures, where his face is completely broken, smashed. Here are photos of people killed by shots to the head. The more close-up the same man – bullet holes circled in circles, “- says MP, showing shocking pictures of dead.
And it has video footage and photographs of the gunmen and throwing “Molotov cocktails” in the window of the house unions. But none of them is not among the detainees. None of the investigators did not ask questions to the former Security Council Secretary Andriy Paruby that two days before the collision came to Odessa and personally handed fighters self vests. And later held a private meeting with security officials. Finally, in a year for some reason I could not find people who beat miraculously escaped the fire of people in front of the policemen.
“Just lost my friend, who is also, in general, helping people to get out, Oleg Markin. He jumped out of the window, it finished off, finished off bits. And he did not die from wounds, but from beating these people that raged there, “- says the coordinator of the” Mother Ukraine “Galina Zaporozhtseva.
In Ukraine, the stories about the dead participants and witnesses of the Odessa massacre officially called just rumors. But this is enough to make people afraid. And if we add still hanging over the entire Odessa posters calling for the suspects to hand in so-called domestic separatism, it turns out, much can be accomplished.
“And the city stopped. PRIVOZ stopped. New market paused Starokon market. People are afraid to speak to each other, even those who are friends. Because now no one knows. Whoever does not like it, quarrel, please phone SBU, call – and tomorrow you’re out there, “- bitterly says journalist Alexander Vetrov.
About the seemingly inconceivable in the XXI century massacre in Odessa resembles a small stand with photographs of the victims. Silently put flowers and leave – all that is left for those who do not want to forget. Surprisingly, but thousands of kilometers away, in the Italian city-Cherian Laghetto now has an area of Odessa Martyrs. The authorities decided to name it in honor of the victims on May 2 and executed by the Nazis on the Jews there in 1941, in fact equate these developments.
In the same area is also going to put a monument he is ready. Nothing of the sort in any Ukrainian city do not plan to. In this country, even to the dead, it seems, are treated differently. If in Kiev street hundreds of Heaven in memory of those killed on the Maidan came a week after the events of February, the tragedy of the Odessa authorities as if trying to forget. And make others forget.
