It's difficult to overestimate the importance of odessa it is strategically located on the black sea and it's
1:16:20
ukraine's largest seaport it's not surprising that ukraine's new authorities were watching the situation
1:16:26
unfolding there with growing alarm more and more of odessa's people were
1:16:32
joining the anti-maidon movement at the same time as events in eastern ukraine were heating up
1:16:38
the new ukrainian government didn't have the power to wage war on too many fronts if odessa were to join the growing
1:16:44
uprising in the eastern regions it would seriously complicate the situation
1:16:50
this rebellion had to be extinguished immediately and at any cost and that cost was high
1:16:57
on may 2nd 2014 soccer fans flocked to the center of odessa city for the
1:17:03

1:17:09
night before also turned out to be fighters from the maidan self-defense units along with members of radical
1:17:16
organizations from all parts of ukraine
1:17:24
these fans masked armed and shouting nationalist mottos began disturbances in
1:17:30
the center of the city as they marched to the anti-maidan tent encampment where they attacked
1:17:36

1:17:42
maidan supporters started throwing molotov cocktails into the building until it was engulfed in flames

1:18:24
were seen at the scene that fateful day
1:18:29
[Music] but not everyone was mourning
1:18:36
on the popular political talk show shuster live the news about the people burnt alive in odessa was welcomed with
1:18:43
a long round of applause
1:18:55
on its facebook page the right sector announced the events of may 2 a proud
1:19:00
moment in national history an official investigation into this sad event has been going on now for nearly two years
1:19:07
and it's yet to reach a conclusion but it seems the experts had all the information they needed from the very
1:19:14
beginning
1:19:21
[Applause]
1:19:26
it looks like odessa really is a very important piece of real estate as it was honored with a very special
1:19:33
