Nevertheless, we knew this time in Odesa it wonโt be peaceful
In April 2014 ๐ท๐บ has already annexed several parts of my country & the monster of ๐ was eyeing the "jewel of the Black Sea":

From multiple channels & Vkontakte.ru of several local collaborationists, including Denis Yatsyuk, my former classmate, we knew pro-๐ท๐บ forces were planning an aggressive attack on ๐บ๐ฆ football fans
On April 16th they have also registered 'Odesa People's Republic'

A peaceful ๐บ๐ฆ rally for national unity was planned for 14:00 - ๐บ๐ฆ football clubs FC Chornomorets Odesa and FC Metalist Kharkiv fans, along with Right Sector patriots & ordinary people were going to march in support of United Ukraine
As they marched down Derybasivska Street (central Odesa), fans of both teams sang the ๐บ๐ฆ national anthem together, chanted patriotic slogans such as "Odesa, Kharkiv, ๐บ๐ฆ", and sang other songs against ๐ท๐บ President Vladimir Putin
Peaceful ๐บ๐ฆ rally was attacked by a 300-strong mob of pro- ๐ท๐บ Odesskaya Druzhina, armed with bats and firearms at Hretska Street
Participants of both sides are listed here:

Several ๐บ๐ฆ activists were shot & died
Still, ๐บ๐ฆwere well aware of the planned attack and had additional reserves, which pushed pro-๐ท๐บ mob back into their tents to the Kulikove Pole
As collaborationists lost the momentum, they started barricading themselves in the Trade Union ๐ฆ

While defending the building, ๐ท๐บ militants on the roof tossed rocks and petrol bombs at ๐บ๐ฆ protesters below
A report by the Ukrainian Independent Information Agency (UNIAN) said that the pro-Maidan crowd began to throw rocks and petrol bombs back into the building

As a result of the ongoing exchange of ๐ท๐บ militants supplied petrol bombs Trade Union building started catching ๐ฅ
5 independent ๐ฅ centres were formed: in the lobby, on the staircases between the ground and 1st floors, in a room on the 1st floor, and between 2nd & 3rd floors

Important details proving the Trade Union Massacre was the staged operation of ๐ท๐บ collaborators:
1. The ๐ฅ centres other than in the lobby could only have been started as a result of the actions of persons inside the building
2. People were trapped from the inside

3. Leading figures of ๐ท๐บ mob were not inside
4. ๐ฅ crews were ordered not to intervene on an explicit order from then head of Emergency Services of Odesa Vladimir Bodelan. Same day he fled ๐บ๐ฆ for ๐ท๐บ, obtained ๐ท๐บcitizenship and started a career in occupied Crimea

As a result of fire, 42 people burnt alive or suffocated form carbon monoxide in the House of Trade Unions
Human death is always a tragedy
Nevertheless, an alternative to May 2nd 2014 in Odesa is the ๐ท๐บ "liberation":
