Odessa, May 2, Elena Kleyn

I will try to describe how everything happened, because there will be versions in the media that will contradict it. So here it goes.

Recently, it has become a common situation in our country, that ultras of football teams join each other in marching for the unity of the state. Today, such an event was scheduled to begin in the Sobor square in Odessa. Since it was anticipated that a hit song about Putin will be performed by its authors, other people decided to join.

Suddenly, ‘colorados’ (pro-russian activists) appeared from the direction of the market store ‘Afina’ . First of all, they began throwing stones at ultras, then they started shooting. Ultras responded by throwing stones. Then the self-defence of Maidan an militia arrived. Part of the latter formed a chain and took stand between both conflicting sides. The other part of militia began arming ‘colorados’ with shields and clubs.

The result – one of the ultras was killed and dozens were wounded. Gunfire is opened from the direction of the market store ‘Afina’. The numbers of killed and wounded victims are growing. Four are already dead. When the ‘Sokol’ squad arrived, they began catching ‘colorados’ and dragging them from ‘Afina’, people went to the the field of Kulikov to remove the ‘colorado’ camp. Because that was too much.

‘Colorados’ entrenched themselves in the labor union building, near the Kulikov field and opened fire from the rooftop. They used guns, Molotov cocktails and pieces of welded armature. If such a lump fell on your head from the rooftop, you would be instantly killed.

According to various sources, the labor union building caught fire either from the burning tents or from poorly thrown Molotov cocktails (although, it is possible that both scenarios are correct). The outcome of the day – 39 dead. Most of them suffocated in the labor union building, while others were being moved from it and transferred to the militia and the doctors (depending on their condition).

Large collection of weapons was found in the building after the fire – iron bludgeons, machine guns and rifles.

All my acquaintances and family are healthy and alive, thanks to those who cared. The essential idea declared in Odessa today – we will not allow a second Slavyansk to happen in Odessa. Odessa is Ukraine. You better don’t mess with us. We were patient for a long time, but there is a limit. Glory to Ukraine!

Glory to heroes!
