Let me tell you a little story about the Odessa Massacre..... On 2 May 2014, a woman and her two children ages 8 and 12 decided to go for a walk around Kulikovo Square. Also located their is "Orthodox City." While out on their walk, they noticed a small concert, a tribute to veterans of the war in Afghanistan. They decided to stop to listen with the small crowd that had gathered. Simultaneously, a far-right, pro-maidan, protest was occurring a short distance away. Officials in the area, began to take down the tents and put the orthodox idols in safe places. as the far right crowd became more raucous and approached the free concert, attendees, including this woman and her two children, ran inside the trade union building for refuge. The crowd of Ukrainian nationalist swelled outside of the building and began assembly line to create Molotov cocktails. They let the building on fire and encourage the occupants to jump to their deaths. A pregnant woman was stabbed to death during the assault to the cheers of the crowd. It took firefighters over 30 minutes to arrive at the scene, despite being a short distance away. Police officers refuse to get involved. At least 48 people lost their lives that day, including the woman and her two children who had left their home hours before to go on a leisurely stroll. No one deserves to die in this manner, regardless of political views, ethnicity, or preferred language. Despite multiple calls for investigation we are now nine years past this tragedy, and still have no answers. Those responsible for setting the building on fire are not only still at large, but they are in the good graces of the European council and its highest leadership. This conflict cannot be taken at face value. This conflict is an existential battle against people who believe that you deserve to die because of the language you speak, or the ethnicity of your parents. This is fascism..... again.
