year 2014. Tragedy in Odessa

Two years ago, on May 2, 2014, clashes took place in Odessa between Euromaidan supporters and fans of the Chernomorets and Metallist football clubs, who organized the march "For the Unity of Ukraine", and the anti-Maidan supporters who attacked them. The latter, having suffered a defeat, retreated to the House of Trade Unions. Next to him, on the Kulikovo field, an anti-Maidan camp was set up, which was destroyed by the Euromaidanites and fans. They set fire to the central doors of the House of Trade Unions, from where the fire spread to the entire building. The fire brigade arrived too late. In total, 48 people died during the clashes and fire, 42 of them in the House of Trade Unions.
