They both served in the Ukrainian Voluntary Corps of the Right Sector during the war in Donbas. These confessions and other evidence of the involvement of the Right Sector in the violent overthrow of the Ukrainian government and in the Maidan massacre continue to be ignored by the government in Ukraine and the Ukrainian and Western media. In contrast, numerous reports in the Ukrainian media hailed the ex deputy leader of the "Vikings" as a heroic "cyborg" before and after he was killed during fighting in the Donetsk airport. In 2015, the city council of Sumy awarded him posthumously a honorary title.

This is easy to determine and it requires no technical expertise or ballistic tests, which continue to be withheld by the government investigation. CNN filmed from the Hotel Ukraina a Maidan medic being shot in his right leg at 10:17am but did not report that this direction pointed to a shooter in one of the Maidan-controlled buildings, such as a roof window on Horodestkoho street or a roof of Bank Arkada. Maidan eyewitnesses, radio intercepts by SBU snipers, videos, and bullet impact signs all pointed to concealed shooters in these locations, which were at that time in the Maidan-controlled area.

* (2015-07-09, by Ivan Katchanovski): Poroshenko opened a mural of the first Maidan protester killed by pellets in January 2014. He claimed his displeasure with the pace of the investigation of the killings of the Maidan protesters but then openly interfered in the investigations and court trials by claiming that the shooters are already being tried and that the massacre organizers fled to Moscow. In fact, recent reports suggest that the investigation has not even identified suspects in in killing of Nigoyan and two other protesters in January. The circumstances of their killings, hunting ammunition used, and exploitation of their killings by politicians and media for political purposes resemble the massacre of the protesters and the police on the Maidan in February 2014.

2014-03-05: Declaration of the People's Republic of Donetsk
March 3rd, the Donbass People’s Militia occupies the Donetsk oblast’s main government building.
During March 5, Donbass People’s Militia head Pavel Gubarev, held a public assembly and press conference in Donetsk Region’s main government to declare the People's Republic of Donetsk, unveiling the flag of the republic alongside the flag of the Federation of Russia.
To a crowd chanting, “Rossiya! Rossiya!” he thundered, “I am for Donetsk being a part of Russia!”
He states that on March 8th “there will be a ‘People’s Committee’ meeting here. Only then can we make the decision regarding Russian troops. Kiev are involved in their own affairs and their deputies here are too frightened to do anything. It's time for us to take the decisions here. There is no chance that people here in Donetsk will want to continue being part of Ukraine. The people of Donetsk support us. We shall address the Russian authorities and ask them to bring a peacekeeping force here. It is the only way to keep order.”

On March 8th, 3,000 people rallied in Donetsk’s Lenin Square to support the idea of the Russian Federation annexing this part of eastern Ukraine. The crowds chanted, “Russia!” and “Referendum!” and surrounded the government building where Donetsk Region’s new governor, Sirhiy Taruta, was holed up, challenging him to emerge. Taruta, a multi-millionaire oligarch, was appointed by the new interim Ukrainian government in Kiev in an attempt to mollify the long-corrupt national economy’s powerful tycoons.

On March 6th, the Republic of Crimea has the March 30th referendum changed to a March 16th date on joining the Federation of Russia, which officially does not want to annex the Republic of Crimea or to recognize it as a sovereign entity.
Already, there have been street confrontations between pro- and anti-Russian elements in Odessa, and ethnic-Russian rebels—or, perhaps, as in Donetsk, imported provocateurs from Russia itself—have managed several times to break in and raise the Russian flag over Odessa’s government buildings. On March 6th, a speaker told a large crowd of cheering ethnic-Russian demonstrators and ad hoc militiamen, “Our duty is to demonstrate against Kiev’s junta, whom America has paid $5 billion to take over political power; otherwise their armed fascist militia will force us to elect their oligarchs and turn our country into a NATO member!”

The raid was not unexpected. Albu, an elected member of the Odessa Regional Council and local coordinator of the leftist Union Borotba (Struggle), was called in for questioning by the SBU on March 11 after he presented a proposal for a referendum on regional autonomy at the council. Another local resistance leader, Anton Davidchenko, was seized by special forces on March 17 and kidnapped to Kiev, Ukraine’s capital city.
The protest in Odessa on March 30 was particularly significant, swelling in size to several thousand from about 1,000 the previous week.
Albu was a convener of the powerful march.
At demonstrations in Odessa, Kharkov, Dnepropetrovsk and other cities, Borotba activists raised the slogan: “No election without a referendum.”
The most radical forces, like Borotba, also call for the regional renationalization of industry to protect workers’ living standards — and as a step toward the restoration of a socialist Ukraine.

A demonstration against political repression in Ukraine is also being held in the southern regional center of Odessa. The clashes also erupted in the southern Ukrainian city of Nikolaev after at least 300 activists attempted to storm the city administration building.

At least 15 people have been injured, with 11 of them were admitted to hospital, and more than 20 arrested, the city’s Health Department reported. In a rare incident, Dnepropetrovsk city authorities moved to negotiate with the anti-government activists. According to the region’s vice governor, Boris Filatov, both the “left-wing” and the pro-Russian protesters agreed to refrain from “calls for separatist actions.” In return, the authorities said they will let the activists use some cabinets in the administrative buildings for their “meetings and work,” as well as provide them with “free access” to local printed media.

Avakov’s main task has been to bring the competing neo-Nazi tendencies in Western Ukraine under the regime’s discipline by integrating them into a so-called National Guard and joint patrols with police.
For weeks, the Interior Ministry has been sending Right Sector and other neo-Nazi goons to infiltrate the rebellious regions. Police and military agencies have also transferred personnel to replace those reluctant to attack the local populace.
On the night of April 7, these forces were unleashed against the people of Southeastern Ukraine.
"People’s power vs. fascist repression" (2014-04-08) [archive.today/0ZX9i] [begin excerpt]:
Overnight April 6, activists seized the regional assembly building in Donetsk and proclaimed an independent People’s Republic of Donetsk. The protesters declared that they are now the region’s only rightful authorities.
After the declaration was read, the “Internationale” and Soviet national anthem were broadcast over loudspeakers in the main square to thousands of cheering residents.
The revolutionary authorities appealed to the Russian Federation to send peacekeepers to protect the May 11 referendum.
Donetsk, in the Donbas mining region, is a traditional stronghold of the Communist Party of Ukraine.
Military personnel and police refused orders to move against the anti-fascists.
According to a report by Ivan Pobedonoscev in Donetsk, posted by the Russian communist website RedTV, the new people’s government in Donetsk is preparing to repulse a military attack on the Regional State Administration building it occupies, perhaps as soon as the night of April 8.
On the morning of April 7, workers at the Yasinovka steel plant in Makeevka stopped work and organized buses to join the Donetsk defenders, vowing to stay and protect the protesters as long as necessary.
Volunteers are building barricades and mobilizing supporters to defend the People’s Republic of Donetsk. They have issued an urgent call for people to bring rations, beverages, fire extinguishers, gas masks and medical supplies.
Kiev has reportedly flown in Alpha special security forces from Western Ukraine, equipped with SWAT team weaponry and full armor. Greystone mercenaries are said to be among them, disguised as soldiers. Military equipment has been moved to encircle Donetsk. The RSA building’s electricity was cut off.

"People’s power vs. fascist repression" (2014-04-08) [archive.today/0ZX9i] [begin excerpt]: April 6th and 7th, in Kharkov, thousands of anti-fascists led by Union Borotba and the People’s Unity Coalition seized the Regional State Administration building and proclaimed a People’s Republic of Kharkov. New regional councilors were elected from the assembled workers, youth and retirees.
The anti-fascists took action after the Kharkov Regional Council failed to act on a petition presented at a mass demonstration on April 6. The petition called on the council to set a referendum on three points: Should Ukraine be a federal country? Should the Russian language be legal? Should Ukraine be a non-aligned country — without NATO?
The declaration of the People’s Republic of Kharkov calls for an end to the exploitation of labor and gives priority to collective forms of ownership.
Military personnel and police refused orders to move against the anti-fascists.
In Kharkov, Right Sector and Maidan “Self-Defense” agents, dressed in Special Forces uniforms, were deployed against the people’s forces holding the Regional State Administration building. The fascists set fire to the building and dispersed the protesters. At least 70 people were arrested and immediately deported to Kiev.
Activists report that among the repressive forces were English-speaking mercenaries, whom they believe work for the U.S. company, Greystone Ltd., whose presence has been reported elsewhere in Ukraine since the coup. Greystone is a division of the notorious mercenary firm formerly known as Blackwater USA.
The offices of Borotba and People’s Unity in Kharkov were seized and occupied by the fascists.
An April 8 statement issued by Borotba says, “Despite the repression, the resistance does not subside. Now people are returning to the State Administration building to continue the fight.”
Videos posted on April 8 showed running clashes continuing in Kharkov’s streets. In one video, protesters prevented Special Forces agents from leaving a bus.

However, Guardian correspondent Luke Harding, disputed that reporting on the incident. On the ground in Mariupol, he had been to the hospital and reports that only "one person - not two or three as has been reported - died in last night's clash" and that 15 others were being treated for gunshot wounds.
"It's pretty clear there was an exchange of fire at the national guard base in a residential area in the centre of the city," Harding reports. "The fighting last from 9m until 2 in the morning. Pro-Russian separatists tried to storm the building, the Ukrainian troops fired warning shots and came under fire from outside the building. The protest leaders said the shooting came from provocateurs. What is clear is Ukrainian vehicles and other trucks had bullet holes so there was incoming fire. There is a lot of broken glass and there is blood on the floor. The base remains under control of Ukrainian troops." [end excerpt]

They both served in the Ukrainian Voluntary Corps of the Right Sector during the war in Donbas. These confessions and other evidence of the involvement of the Right Sector in the violent overthrow of the Ukrainian government and in the Maidan massacre continue to be ignored by the government in Ukraine and the Ukrainian and Western media. In contrast, numerous reports in the Ukrainian media hailed the ex deputy leader of the "Vikings" as a heroic "cyborg" before and after he was killed during fighting in the Donetsk airport. In 2015, the city council of Sumy awarded him posthumously a honorary title.

This is easy to determine and it requires no technical expertise or ballistic tests, which continue to be withheld by the government investigation. CNN filmed from the Hotel Ukraina a Maidan medic being shot in his right leg at 10:17am but did not report that this direction pointed to a shooter in one of the Maidan-controlled buildings, such as a roof window on Horodestkoho street or a roof of Bank Arkada. Maidan eyewitnesses, radio intercepts by SBU snipers, videos, and bullet impact signs all pointed to concealed shooters in these locations, which were at that time in the Maidan-controlled area.

He claimed his displeasure with the pace of the investigation of the killings of the Maidan protesters but then openly interfered in the investigations and court trials by claiming that the shooters are already being tried and that the massacre organizers fled to Moscow. In fact, recent reports suggest that the investigation has not even identified suspects in in killing of Nigoyan and two other protesters in January. The circumstances of their killings, hunting ammunition used, and exploitation of their killings by politicians and media for political purposes resemble the massacre of the protesters and the police on the Maidan in February 2014.

In particular, Yanukovych know that the West is sponsoring a coup in the country. So, to "support democracy, but in reality - in the protests and killings in Kiev, has been allocated five billion dollars. Weapons kept by activists in the City Hall building and the building of Trade Unions.
"These two buildings were used for manufacturing explosives," Molotov cocktails ", where the militants were armed. They blocked separate floors, separate rooms in the basement, where no one was allowed, "- said Zakharchenko.
Then events on Euromaidan developed by well-known scenario, which was implemented in Syria, Libya, Egypt. Soon for escalation of the conflict has appeared unknown snipers aiming at the activists, and in the police.

March 3rd, the Donbass People’s Militia occupies the Donetsk oblast’s main government building.
During March 5, Donbass People’s Militia head Pavel Gubarev, held a public assembly and press conference in Donetsk Region’s main government to declare the People's Republic of Donetsk, unveiling the flag of the republic alongside the flag of the Federation of Russia.
To a crowd chanting, “Rossiya! Rossiya!” he thundered, “I am for Donetsk being a part of Russia!”He states that on March 8th “there will be a ‘People’s Committee’ meeting here. Only then can we make the decision regarding Russian troops. Kiev are involved in their own affairs and their deputies here are too frightened to do anything. It's time for us to take the decisions here. There is no chance that people here in Donetsk will want to continue being part of Ukraine. The people of Donetsk support us. We shall address the Russian authorities and ask them to bring a peacekeeping force here. It is the only way to keep order.”

Pavel Gubarev, is a 30-year-old advertising executive or entrepreneur from the Donbas region. In the 1990s, he was a member of the Progressive Socialist Party of Ukraine, a pan-Slavic socialist political party hostile to foreign economic hegemony. He was also a member of Russian National Unity, a party often described as neo-Nazi.

That night, the People’s Militia of Donbas took over parts of the city and confronted the police.
On March 8th, 3,000 people rallied in Donetsk’s Lenin Square to support the idea of the Russian Federation annexing this part of eastern Ukraine. The crowds chanted, “Russia!” and “Referendum!” and surrounded the government building where Donetsk Region’s new governor, Sirhiy Taruta, was holed up, challenging him to emerge.

On March 6th, the Republic of Crimea has the March 30th referendum changed to a March 16th date on joining the Federation of Russia, which officially does not want to annex the Republic of Crimea or to recognize it as a sovereign entity.
Already, there have been street confrontations between pro- and anti-Russian elements in Odessa, and ethnic-Russian rebels—or, perhaps, as in Donetsk, imported provocateurs from Russia itself—have managed several times to break in and raise the Russian flag over Odessa’s government buildings. On March 6th, a speaker told a large crowd of cheering ethnic-Russian demonstrators and ad hoc militiamen, “Our duty is to demonstrate against Kiev’s junta, whom America has paid $5 billion to take over political power; otherwise their armed fascist militia will force us to elect their oligarchs and turn our country into a NATO member!”
“Odessa = Ukraine,” reads a sign (left). “Mir” (peace), reads another (right).

The raid was not unexpected. Albu, an elected member of the Odessa Regional Council and local coordinator of the leftist Union Borotba (Struggle), was called in for questioning by the SBU on March 11 after he presented a proposal for a referendum on regional autonomy at the council. Another local resistance leader, Anton Davidchenko, was seized by special forces on March 17 and kidnapped to Kiev, Ukraine’s capital city.
The protest in Odessa on March 30 was particularly significant, swelling in size to several thousand from about 1,000 the previous week.
Albu was a convener of the powerful march.
At demonstrations in Odessa, Kharkov, Dnepropetrovsk and other cities, Borotba activists raised the slogan: “No election without a referendum.”
The most radical forces, like Borotba, also call for the regional renationalization of industry to protect workers’ living standards — and as a step toward the restoration of a socialist Ukraine.

Externally, the KPU has been working to rally support among the Western European parliamentary left to put pressure on the Kiev regime.

The Council proclaimed itself the only legitimate body in the region until the regions in southeast Ukraine conduct a general referendum, set to take place no later than May 11. “The Donetsk Republic is to be created within the administrative borders of the Donetsk region. This decision will come into effect after the referendum,” the statement said. The Council in Donetsk issued an address to Russian President Vladimir Putin, asking for deployment of a temporary peacekeeping force to the region. “Without support it will be hard for us to stand against the junta in Kiev,” said the address. “We are addressing Russian President Putin because we can only entrust our security to Russia,” the statement said.

Interim Deputy Prime Minister Vitaly Yarema will visit Donetsk and acting Interior Minister Arsen Avakov has reportedly already arrived in Kharkov. The coup-appointed acting president, Aleksandr Turchinov, has threatened that counter-terrorist measures could be taken against those who take up arms against the Kiev authorities, RIA news agency reported. On Thursday, the Ukrainian parliament will tighten laws regarding separatism and could possibly ban certain parties and organizations , Turchinov warned. “What happened yesterday is the second stage of the special operation of the Russian Federation against Ukraine,” announced Turchinov in an address televised on Monday, sharing that an “anti-crisis command was set up last night” to deal with the crisis, Interfax-Ukraine reported. Ukraine’s interim Foreign Minister Andrey Deschitsa announced on Monday that if the situation in the eastern regions escalates, the coup-appointed government in Kiev will take “much harsher” measures than those on the reunion of the Crimea with Russia. Deschitsa gave an assurance that members of the government are already working with local authorities.

A demonstration against political repression in Ukraine is also being held in the southern regional center of Odessa. The clashes also erupted in the southern Ukrainian city of Nikolaev after at least 300 activists attempted to storm the city administration building. The protesters were also trying to remove the Ukrainian flag from the administration building. Police reportedly used rubber bullets to push the crowd back from the building. At least 15 people have been injured, with 11 of them were admitted to hospital, and more than 20 arrested, the city’s Health Department reported. In a rare incident, Dnepropetrovsk city authorities moved to negotiate with the anti-government activists. According to the region’s vice governor, Boris Filatov, both the “left-wing” and the pro-Russian protesters agreed to refrain from “calls for separatist actions.” In return, the authorities said they will let the activists use some cabinets in the administrative buildings for their “meetings and work,” as well as provide them with “free access” to local printed media.

The anti-fascists have set May 11 as the date for regional referenda, when local residents should democratically decide their future status – whether for broad autonomy within Ukraine, independence or in some cases affiliation with Russia, as the people of Crimea chose on March 16.
The resistance, including the leftist Union Borotba (Struggle), says there can be no legitimate elections without a referendum.

Avakov’s main task has been to bring the competing neo-Nazi tendencies in Western Ukraine under the regime’s discipline by integrating them into a so-called National Guard and joint patrols with police.
For weeks, the Interior Ministry has been sending Right Sector and other neo-Nazi goons to infiltrate the rebellious regions. Police and military agencies have also transferred personnel to replace those reluctant to attack the local populace.
On the night of April 7, these forces were unleashed against the people of Southeastern Ukraine.
The Russian Foreign Ministry urged Ukraine on April 8 to “halt any interior military preparations which could instigate a civil war.”

Overnight April 6, activists seized the regional assembly building in Donetsk and proclaimed an independent People’s Republic of Donetsk. The protesters declared that they are now the region’s only rightful authorities.
After the declaration was read, the “Internationale” and Soviet national anthem were broadcast over loudspeakers in the main square to thousands of cheering residents.
The revolutionary authorities appealed to the Russian Federation to send peacekeepers to protect the May 11 referendum.
Donetsk, in the Donbas mining region, is a traditional stronghold of the Communist Party of Ukraine.
Military personnel and police refused orders to move against the anti-fascists.
According to a report by Ivan Pobedonoscev in Donetsk, posted by the Russian communist website RedTV, the new people’s government in Donetsk is preparing to repulse a military attack on the Regional State Administration building it occupies, perhaps as soon as the night of April 8.
On the morning of April 7, workers at the Yasinovka steel plant in Makeevka stopped work and organized buses to join the Donetsk defenders, vowing to stay and protect the protesters as long as necessary.
Volunteers are building barricades and mobilizing supporters to defend the People’s Republic of Donetsk. They have issued an urgent call for people to bring rations, beverages, fire extinguishers, gas masks and medical supplies.
Kiev has reportedly flown in Alpha special security forces from Western Ukraine, equipped with SWAT team weaponry and full armor. Greystone mercenaries are said to be among them, disguised as soldiers. Military equipment has been moved to encircle Donetsk. The RSA building’s electricity was cut off.

"People’s power vs. fascist repression" (2014-04-08) [archive.today/0ZX9i] [begin excerpt]: April 6th and 7th, in Kharkov, thousands of anti-fascists led by Union Borotba and the People’s Unity Coalition seized the Regional State Administration building and proclaimed a People’s Republic of Kharkov. New regional councilors were elected from the assembled workers, youth and retirees.
The anti-fascists took action after the Kharkov Regional Council failed to act on a petition presented at a mass demonstration on April 6. The petition called on the council to set a referendum on three points: Should Ukraine be a federal country? Should the Russian language be legal? Should Ukraine be a non-aligned country — without NATO?
The declaration of the People’s Republic of Kharkov calls for an end to the exploitation of labor and gives priority to collective forms of ownership.
Military personnel and police refused orders to move against the anti-fascists.
In Kharkov, Right Sector and Maidan “Self-Defense” agents, dressed in Special Forces uniforms, were deployed against the people’s forces holding the Regional State Administration building. The fascists set fire to the building and dispersed the protesters. At least 70 people were arrested and immediately deported to Kiev.
Activists report that among the repressive forces were English-speaking mercenaries, whom they believe work for the U.S. company, Greystone Ltd., whose presence has been reported elsewhere in Ukraine since the coup. Greystone is a division of the notorious mercenary firm formerly known as Blackwater USA.
The offices of Borotba and People’s Unity in Kharkov were seized and occupied by the fascists.
An April 8 statement issued by Borotba says, “Despite the repression, the resistance does not subside. Now people are returning to the State Administration building to continue the fight.”
Videos posted on April 8 showed running clashes continuing in Kharkov’s streets. In one video, protesters prevented Special Forces agents from leaving a bus.

However, Guardian correspondent Luke Harding, disputed that reporting on the incident. On the ground in Mariupol, he had been to the hospital and reports that only "one person - not two or three as has been reported - died in last night's clash" and that 15 others were being treated for gunshot wounds.
"It's pretty clear there was an exchange of fire at the national guard base in a residential area in the centre of the city," Harding reports. "The fighting last from 9m until 2 in the morning. Pro-Russian separatists tried to storm the building, the Ukrainian troops fired warning shots and came under fire from outside the building. The protest leaders said the shooting came from provocateurs. What is clear is Ukrainian vehicles and other trucks had bullet holes so there was incoming fire. There is a lot of broken glass and there is blood on the floor. The base remains under control of Ukrainian troops." [end excerpt]

It was posted to youtube on June 20th. I am referring to the video titled “FASCISM AS IT IS film by Andrey Karaulov”.
Starting at 37:00 in the new documentary, it reconstructs that event, from the extensive cellphone and other videos that were taken of it, both inside and outside the building, as well as around Odessa during the hours leading up to the massacre. The accompanying interviews, with so many of the survivors, help me to make sense, for the very first time, of so much that was previously not clear about the actual sequence and meaning of the events that were shown in those uploaded youtubes — such as why those tents had been set up in front of the building, and what the intentions were of the people inside them, and what they thought they were achieving, and why. Looking at this documentary, I was even more terrified than I had been while watching those videos of the massacre, because now I understood how well organized by the Obama team (as I have previously documented were behind this) the event actually was.
Not even in Ukraine’s northwest (the region that Obama’s team controls) are the majority of the public so vile as to support or endorse such things, but the organizers had arranged long in advance for the two neo-Nazi political parties to be equipped, prepared, and trained, for precisely such an operation as this, and here it finally happened; and it shocked the Ukrainian public, but the news-media there are owned by the very same oligarchs who were behind this operation and who helped to plan it. Some of the people who, in the videos that I had previously seen, were presumed to have jumped out of the windows of the burning Trade Unions Building, didn’t actually jump at all; they were thrown out.
A journalist who survived (and who, presumably was being interviewed from outside Ukraine since she would certainly be murdered by the regime if she were still inside Ukraine) said (47:00): “Some people jumped out of the building from the upper floors, while others were thrown out from the second and third floors. They grabbed people by their arms and legs, and threw them out. … They threw people out indiscriminately, women or elderly people, out of the window. Each person was attacked by five to ten people who were waiting outside. Down there … with bats. …They were there, finishing them off. The mob was shouting ‘Glory to Ukraine! Death to terrorists! Ukraine above all! [that’s copied from Hitler’s ‘Deutschland uber alles!’ or ‘Germany above all!’]’ … The police wouldn’t react. People were pleading for help, but the police just wouldn’t pay any attention. They stood still like statues. They were following orders.” [end excerpt]

May 5th, 2014, 04:45 am - Nightmares
Gradually it's becoming clear that of the tragedy that took place in Odessa, we know almost nothing. We know only the version that is tossed in two ways: either those who had taken refuge in the House of Trade Unions burned themselves to death through sheer negligence, or, they simply were killed by the Right Sector. In fact, NOBODY is accounted for who died through "suffocation".
When the crumbs were restored, a complete picture suddenly became clear that... well, if you have strong nerves, read this [vvv-ig.livejournal.com/690116.html] [archive.today/zmygj]. When it became known the number of corpses and people in medical evacuation, Odessa citizens learned that the "missing" people was three times more than what was reported. By nightfall in the city "for some reason" came a new Right Sector contingent, about two thousand people. It turned out that among them were guys who arrived with things to do. The important thing - lay for those who here was delayed a day earlier.
"Who is the channel said that in the basement of the House of Trade Unions has found 160 corpses. Just corpses in the basement. Killed by firearms and axes zarublennoy !!!! have children, ran with mothers passing by !!! About 2,000 dogs surrounded the house and will make corpses into parts for export in poetilenovyh bags .... they want to hide such a horror! 40 is not 160 !!!" (Source [archive.today/XuKUR]).
"Odessa! Dear! Terrible news. You have more than a hundred people listed as missing in action, you will not find them in hospitals and morgues ... hard for me to write it, but they are no longer alive. 126 bodies found in the basement of the House of Trade Unions. They were killed there, they did not burn. It was the Gestapo. For this reason, the building is locked. Now the city brought about two thousand Right Sector to ensure removal of the bodies. Their export, burn and bury. I do not know, do not know what to do in such a situation ... And more ... Today, Monday, expect a massive funeral identified victims. Planned violent provocation directly to the funeral. Be very careful. Men, despite the grief and perhaps despair, arms, whatever they may be ... In Odessa war. This is war! O Lord, save you from all the bad people and eternal peace innocent victims." (Source [archive.today/xosaq])
... The final (and final if?) The number of dead bodies in the basement turned out later - 217.
Journalist Anatoly Shary: "I interviewed from Odessa, surviving in the house unions. When I make a video (there are moments that I'll take for ethical reasons) - can offer on display. Released material on the site From-UA. What is - Right Sector and "football fans" stormed the building, killing people at once, without talking. Men killed on the spot, women protesting "this ... nah, that the basement." In the basement of the people killed. Shocked - "do not waste your ammo, so let" people beaten to death, beaten dead even though women screaming that they are no longer breathe. Weapons from those who were inside, did not see anybody. Killed people of firearms, which was practically everyone who "cleansing." The woman - a resident of Odessa, she is ready to prove their words publicly, of course - afraid, of course - is shocked by the experience. But thanks to people we can learn about the nightmare that was going on in the building, where all "died of suffocation" ... "

2015-05-22, the "Novorossiya" newspaper is released: [archive.today/CWme3]
* Statement from Pavel Gubarev (novopressa.ru) [archive.today/zFC4X]:
Donetsk (DPR) and Lugansk People's Republic (LPR) decided to identify with the term "Novorossiya". Meanwhile, it is not so new. Novorossiya is a vast region from Odessa to Kharkov, which includes several areas of former Ukraine. Thus, the New Russia is not homogeneous in terms of both lifestyles and forms of farming, and from the point of view of the identity of its inhabitants.
In turn, as the territory of the former Donbass, the Donetsk and Lugansk regions is integral. The Donbass has its own identity, equally based on the history of Novorossiysa region of the Russian Empire, Soviet uniform economic-industrial economic model and proletarian culture.
Not casually anti-fascist uprising occurred synchronously, and further political processes have led to the same result - the creation of the People's Republic delimited solely on the basis of the former administrative-territorial division.
Moreover, the economy DPR and LPR are identical, and a number of departments, such as management of the railway on the territory of both Republics, made from a single center.
Thus, a logical step in building a Greater Novorossiya should be the union of Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republic. I am confident that the United Republic into a single unit is fully consistent with the aspirations and expectations of their citizens. It will also facilitate bureaucratic superstructure, ensure better coordination of the Armed Forces of Novorossiya in their opposition to the army of Ukraine.
The movement to unite, you can start with the unification of the legitimate and elected legislature. Let me remind you, in the Parliament of 100 deputies from DPR, and from LPR - 50. Their number is determined and certified proportion to the number of people living in the country.
Association can implement a constitutional act or unitarisation constitutions.
This will allow now to develop a unified legislation and not duplicate the work of the deputies after a catastrophic shortage of qualified personnel in the field of jurisprudence.
In this case, at this stage of nation-building possible functioning governments DPR and LPR, as the head of government of the Republic and elected legitimately by election.
Statement of the Public Council of Novorossiya.
Public Council of Novorossiya was formed 24 and 25 May 2014 by representatives of Kharkov, Dnepropetrovsk, Zaporozhye, Odessa, Nikolaev, Kherson and Sumy regions of South-East of Ukraine, as well as the so-called Donetsk People’s Republic and Lugansk People’s Republic.
Public Council is one of the principal organs of the joint political coordination between DPR and LPR, and aims to form a new state entity – Novorossiya. Public Council is developing and agreeing on common principles of creating Novorossiya, definition of its values and objectives. During the congress of the public council of Novorossiya its members made a joint statement later published by the newspaper “Zavtra.” [translator’s note: “Political allegiance — Stalinism , patriotism” ]
“We see Novorossiya as the place where will come to life the tradition of fraternal community of people, which will form a single civilization, overcoming ethnic, confessional and social limitations [translators note: another possible translation — “separations”]. Sovereignty and identity of Russian world has always been based on the integration and consolidation of different traditions, cultures and peoples.
Our values are the mutual enrichment of cultures and people, internationalism and anti-fascism, justice and solidarity. We are committed to the creation of a common future for all citizens, a future, from which none of our fellow citizens can not be excluded because of its native language, national origin or religious beliefs.
Novorossiya we see a place where freedom of conscience will be connected with respect for all religions and traditional Orthodox culture.
We stand for the transformation of society on a democratic basis, to overcome the dominance of the oligarchy and true equality for all members of society, for equality, not only proclaimed the official documents, but guaranteed by real state practice, for equal access of all to culture and science, for the right to education in their native language.
We will fight for a society where citizens are provided with decent working conditions and employment support, for free accessible and quality education and health care, pensions and for decent living conditions. Our priority is to ensure the welfare and social rights of every family, socially oriented housing policy.
We see the future Novorossiya democratic, based on a real government, citizens’ access to decision-making. Country, where different ideologies will have the right to exist – except Nazism and racism.
We see the future Novorossiya place where the modern economy based on industrial upgrading, development of science and rational use of the creative potential of the people.
We are confident that our struggle and our commitment to a better future are the continuation of a great common history of Russia, Ukraine, the Soviet Union and modern Eurasian, the history that our peoples are creating today joining our forces.
Novorossiya is to become an open project for the implementation of the proclaimed values and principles, reserving a right to declare full independence.
Novorossiya is to become an arena for the realization of ideas, hopes and aspirations of all the people, sincerely worried about the fate of the Motherland, aspiring to make her happy and prosperous. ”

Transcript: They say the Sukhoi (Fighter) brought down the civilian plane and ours brought down the fighter.
Background: But where is the Sukhoi?
Where is the Sukhoi then?
Background: It’s confusing. No idea where the Sukhoi is, it’s burning here and there and debris everywhere.
They saw a pilot crawling at Rassipnaya. A pilot was seen crawling.
Cmdr: The other plane that fell down, they are after them, the pilots.
Background: The second one?
Cmdr: Yes, there’s 2 planes taken down. We need the second.
Background: The second one is a civilian too?
Background: The fighter jet brought down this one, and our people brought down the fighter.
Background: They decided to do it this way, to look like we have brought down the plane.
Yes Kalyian. I understood you, but we’re already at the crash site. A passenger plane was brought down. They brought down the passenger plane and we brought down the fighter.
We’re at the crash site.
On the other side of the field.
Cmdr: The parachute jumpers are there.
Background: But there are two planes, from my understanding.
Background: And what’s the other one? A Sukoi?
Cmdr: A Sukhoi.
The Sukhoi brought down the plane and we brought down the Sukhoi.
Is it far from here? Where did it fall?
Looks like … Where’s the smoke coming from?
Somewhere else it is burning, the 49 village.
I mean … the two pilots landed on parachutes.
Cmdr: Five parachutes jumped off this plane. Five people jumped off this plane on the bird site. How to get there?
OK we’ll go there soon. We’ll see. OK then.

That's fuel burning, with some kind of accelerant. Explosives in storage would do that, making it burn hotter. 12 tons of hexogen according to this tweet [archive.today/0KLqS]. Looks more like 100 or ton or more, probably an ordnance stockpile.
On the same day, in order to distract attention from the bombings of Donetsk, a "Nuclear Explosion" at Luhansk airport is blamed on the Federation of Russia by the retreating UAF! Had the NAF used a tactical nuke, there would have been quite a few deaths due to radiation poisoning. Even with the smallest tactical nuke ever detonated, the radiation was lethal out to at least 1/4 mile. Nukes simply cannot work without a very high ionizing radiation output.

On Monday afternoon, news agencies reported a powerful explosion in Donetsk. According to witnesses, the blast wave swept across the city, over the epicenter - in the area of warehouses for the Donetsk state factory of chemical products - rose "mushroom." It is approximately 100 km from the border with Russia.
As of yesterday they did not know precisely what the substance was that exploded and which side struck.
Unveiled a different version: rocket attack on the territory of chemical enterprises, the explosion of stockpiled munitions factory and as a result of the detonation of RDX, an intentional undermining of warehouses.
The Ukrainian side, in turn, made an official statement that the missile strikes or shelling of Donetsk did not come from them. Press center of the antiterrorist operation reported that the Ukrainian military respond to attacks by armed groups in the breakaway republics, but "beat off the attack with mortars." And do not shoot on Human Settlements. No “Point-In," "Grad," "Twister," “Hurricane": “ATO do not use force," - said the press center. It specified that the video, "which is used as proof that the Ukrainian military launched a missile attack (on the chemical plant. -"NG"), appeared on the Internet only four months ago."
In Kiev yesterday sounded the assumption what the militia could do - intentionally or accidentally - to blow up the warehouses with their ammunition. Appointed last week, Minister of Defense of Ukraine Stepan Poltorak on the television talk show suggested that the explosion was arranged specifically to accuse the Ukrainian military. "This is yet another provocation by terrorists," - he said. A speaker of the Council of National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) of Ukraine Andriy Lysenko explained the situation as follows: "After the capture of militants Donetsk state plant, warehouses which store large amounts of chemicals, the terrorists tried to establish the production of explosives there."
At this time in facebook, it was reported that the attack on a chemical plant are partisans. It unveiled a Johan Karlsen, who presents himself as the leader is still not known movement "AntiDNRovskoe resistance." He wrote: "Declare: Donetsk exploded not" Tochka-U "! This undermining mined terrorist bases and warehouses. Now we're going to do it regularly until you leave from Donetsk voluntarily, or you will have to take out "force." ...

Ukrainian Government is said to have air-dropped leaflets: “Leave or die.”
The term “ATO” that’s employed by the Ukrainian Government and that’s seen in some of these articles, refers to the Ukrainian Government’s “Anti-Terrorist Operation” to kill everyone who lives in the two adjoining areas of Ukraine that had voted 90% or more for the man whom Obama’s Ukrainian coup overthrew on 22 February of this year, and who was replaced by this new Government, whose “ATO” aims to get rid of those voters, so as to consolidate their regime by democratic elections in which the survivors will consist predominantly of their supporters. Those two regions are called “Donbass,” and are comprised of “LC” or the Lugansk area, or Luhansk; and of “DPR” or else “DNI” or Donetsk area, or Donetsk city and its environs.
On October 24th, an American engineer who works in Donbass, and who has reported extensively on this war, George Eliason, sent this email to me and a number of his other journalist friends:
The war is going to be in high gear in a few days here. I spent a few days embedded with the Novo Russia military and met with most of the leaders here. Their intel is that Poroshenko is going to attack hard. Ukraine has massed tanks along the south border and at Debalsova and outside Lugansk.
Poland gave Ukraine aircraft to bomb the cities and leaflets are being dropped in Ukrainian controlled cities that read: leave or die.
Things are going to happen quickly here soon - possibly over the weekend.

To Defend the Homeland!
Many youth, both men and women, lead lives as anyone else, until the fascist coup of February 2014 changed it all. Suddenly, they find themselves being attacked by USA-backed militias whose hatred of all ethnic Russians cannot be reasoned with. For the youth of Novorossiya, it is either Liberty, or Death! 1st picture (2014-05-28) [archive.today/FuM6e]; 2nd picture (2014-12-24) [archive.today/RgNid]; 3rd picture (2015-05-11) collected from a message board.

Anti-fascism is a force to reckon with in defense of the People, from World War 2 to Today, "We Won't Lose Because Great Leader is Always Watching Us!"
The true Communist International (not the "communist parties" under the clandestine agencies of the USA and strategic allies) has provided lasting aid for the people of Novorossiya, including International Battalion volunteer brigades, medical and food supplies, and more!
* El 30 de diciembre 2014, los camaradas del Regimiento Rojo de Piotr Biriukov con nuestros voluntarios comunistas del estado español, recibieron del PCFR (Partido Comunista de la Federación Rusa) conjuntos de uniformes para el destacamento, municiones para 50 combatientes, así como medicinas y ayuda alimentaria.
All your worst fears, rolled up in one: The Communist Brigade with... a Muslim Volunteer! Photos found at an intentionally satirical page [archive.today/MXFIZ], the photos are authentic.
Former members of the fascist UAF Azov and Aydar Battalions who are captured by the NAF are treated well, and some of these former POWs volunteer to defend the people of Novorossiya, and are even fighting alongside Communists, their former ideological enemies! Although racial supremacism is at odds with the culture of Novorossiya, these former enemies no longer fight for supremacism but for preservation of culture against foreign onslaught. It remains to be seen how former supremacists will be treated if they remain among the NAF, but these rare volunteers are proof that the Novorossiya culture for humanity extends even to former enemies. Long Live Novorossiya!
Photo from [archive.today/xxbdE], showing a White Pride flag alongside the NAF flag:
This shows that the NAF is superior than the fascist UAF in that they even allow former enemies to fight alongside them, rather than conduct summary executions and torture of POWs like the UAF does. The NAF secures support, and gains from their humanitarianism, while rehabilitating former neo-Nazis of their inhuman hatred of all ethnic Russians!
