Repost: Odesa 2 May 2014. A tragedy caused by the kremlin and used by the kremlin as propaganda.
It began when Kremlin supporters attacked peaceful Ukrainian protesters.
Spoiler: The tragedy in Odesa has been used cynically and hypocritically by the kremlin. The troubles began when peaceful pro-Ukrainan demonstrators were attacked by pro-kremlin thugs. Many, if not most of them, were transported there from Transnistria and muscocy. Part of the police force stood by and watched when Ukrainians were shot at and killed. When attacked, the Ukrainan demonstrators defended themselves and pushed the pro-kremlin demonstrators to the trade union house at Kulikovo Field. A molotov cocktail was thrown at Ukrainians by a pro-kremlin demonstrator standing on the roof of the trade union house. Molotov cocktails were thrown back. The fire started inside the building.
Every year around 2 May, the kremlin and its trolls spew lies about the Odesa tragedy 2 May 2014. They never mention that the Council of Europee has carried out an investigation of the tragedy. The Council established an International Advisory Panel led by three highly experienced and qualified judges. The panel published a report which you can find here.
You should read the report and its findings about what happened before, during and after the fire. The repost also contains harsh criticism against local authorities, especially the police, and the fire brigade which was located five minutes away from the location of the fire but did not arrive until 30 minutes after the first of many desperate emergency calls.
This post focuses on the findings of how the fire started. Because that is what the kremlin and its trolls lie about. It started inside the building. Most likely by mistakes of pro-kremlin thugs. The demonstrators outside the building fetched scaffoldings and other equipment to try to rescue people inside. Even though some were saved, 42 people died in the fire. They died because of the kremlin.

kremlin attempts to take over Odesa before 2 May 2014.
In 2014, The kremlin tried to overtake Odesa in the same way as it overtook Donetsk and Luhansk. It failed miserably in Charkiv where the transported muscovites got lost in the city and occupied the wrong building. Anyway, already in March an attempt was made to take over Odesa. On 3 March, pro-kremlin thugs stormed the Regional Administration building in Odesa. At the time, the regional council held a meeting therein. The pro-kremlin thugs tried to force the Council to adopt decisions in favour of federalisation and a local referendum. The scumbags also raised the fascist muscovy flag on a flagpole in front of the building.
However, the poorly planned and executed attempt of a coup failed miserably as the Regional Council adopted a decision in which it deplored extremism and any attempt to breach the territorial integrity of Ukraine.
The attempted coup was not a spontaneous initiative by local morons. It was planned and supported by the kremlin which tried to create the little fascist in chief’s dreams of “Novorussija” in the south and east of Ukraine. In the Glazyev tapes, Sergei Glazyev, an adviser to Russian President Vladimir Putin, can be heard discussing how disturbances in Odesa and other cities are to be orchestrated, as well as the formation of a ‘government’ in Crimea in which Russian soldiers had just seized control.
The fire in Odesa 2 May started inside the building.
The Council of Europe’s report was made by an International Advisory Panel established by the Secretary General of the Council of Europe in April 2014. Its investigations were not restricted to what happened in Odesa 2 May. Its role was to oversee that the investigations of the violent incidents which had taken place in Ukraine from 30 November 2013 onwards met all the requirements of the European Convention on Human Rights and the case-law of the European Court of Human Rights (“the ECHR” or “the European Court”).
The panel wrote a report about what happened in Odesa 2 May. It was a based on a thorough investigation as the annexes of the report show. The kremlin and its trolls want you believe otherwise. Ignore it and them.
The findings of the panel can be found in this report. As you can see, the report confirms that pro-kremlin thugs attacked the pro-Ukrainian demonstration. The thugs who threw stones and killed two pro-Ukrainians hid behind policemen who did not try to arrest them. The pro-Ukrainians stroke back and pro-kremlin thugs were killed. The pro-kremlin gang was after a while chased back to a tent camp outside the trade union building. The camp was burned down by pro-Ukrainian demonstrators. A molotov cocktail was thrown by a pro-kremlin bastard at pro-Ukrainans from the roof of the building. Some of the latter threw molotov cocktails back.
A fire started. The findings of the panel show that the fire started inside the building.
the fire had started in five places, namely the lobby, on the staircases to the left and right of the building between the ground and first floors, in a room on the first floor and on the landing between the second and third floors. Other than the fire in the lobby, the fires could only have been started by the acts of those inside the building. The forensic reports did not find any evidence to suggest that the fire had been pre-planned. The closed doors and the chimney effect caused by the stairwell resulted in the fire’s rapid spread to the upper floors and a fast and extreme rise in the temperature inside the building.
Swedish support of the kremlin’s imperialistic Novorussija project
putin’s imperialistic ambitions were supported by left- and rightwing extremists all over Europe. In Sweden, muscovy’s ambitions were supported by people who claimed to be peace activists, as the renowned Swedish scholar Martin Kragh, has shown. The below is a quote, so Kragh did not correct the bad language, from one of the well-known Swedish so called peace activists. The quote is from an Internet forum for people supporting the kremlin’s attempt to conquer the east and south of Ukraine.
According to well informed journalist Per Leander who visited Ukraine together with Alexey Sachnin and have done excellent work in Main stream media critizing the Kiev government has three members on Borotba been kidnapped by Vostok Battalion risking to be exchanged with prisoners taken by the Kiev government. ... Furthermore it is to be acknowledged as an act directed against the Yalta declaration and the Yalta meeting, Sachnin was present in Yalta at the meeting. I would like to have very fast response from our Russian friends on this... I will if I do not get any reaction soon make an international appeal to all movements in the social forum modem, end if I do not get response quickly although I know this would be a great negative effect on the international trust for Novorossija.
I recommend Swedish speaking readers of this post to read the article by Martin Kragh. It is a revealing witness report of how kremlin supporters attack and try smear people who dare to analyse the kremlin’s attempts to influence the Swedish opinion.
