We would like to respond with the actual timeline of events, which Anton Pavlushko compiled <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.fo\/Hzmws\">on his Facebook page<\/a> in 2015. This information destroys all attempts to twist the facts of the tragedy organized by Kremlin in Odesa.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The lovers of the \u201cRussian World\u201d often use the fire in the Odesa Trade Unions building on May 2 as some kind of a life-changing event. There\u2019s a Russian Ivan sitting on the traditional Russian stove somewhere in Khabarovsk, watching his TV as it shows the Maidan events and all the crimes of the \u201cKiev junta\u201d, and then the Odesa fire happens, and now he can no longer sit idly, so he goes and signs up for pro-Russian \u201cmilitia\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The opinion on the Ukrainian side is also somewhat strange. It is assumed that were it not for this event, everything would go in some different direction. Obviously, it all depended on Russian TV having convenient visuals.<\/p>\n<p>And then there are the voices of Crimean \u201cvatniks\u201d, who vote to join Russia in the March 16 referendum, then six weeks pass with them living under the Russian flag, but only the Odesa incident makes them decide to leave Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>So, let us recall the timeline of events before the fire in Odesa:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>February 19<\/strong> \u2013 Fire breaks out in the Trade Unions Building in Kyiv after the unsuccessful assault by police forces.

We would like to respond with the actual timeline of events, which Anton Pavlushko compiled <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.fo\/Hzmws\">on his Facebook page<\/a> in 2015. This information destroys all attempts to twist the facts of the tragedy organized by Kremlin in Odesa.<\/strong>\r\n\r\nThe lovers of the \u201cRussian World\u201d often use the fire in the Odesa Trade Unions building on May 2 as some kind of a life-changing event. There\u2019s a Russian Ivan sitting on the traditional Russian stove somewhere in Khabarovsk, watching his TV as it shows the Maidan events and all the crimes of the \u201cKiev junta\u201d, and then the Odesa fire happens, and now he can no longer sit idly, so he goes and signs up for pro-Russian \u201cmilitia\u201d.\r\n\r\nThe opinion on the Ukrainian side is also somewhat strange. It is assumed that were it not for this event, everything would go in some different direction. Obviously, it all depended on Russian TV having convenient visuals.\r\n\r\nAnd then there are the voices of Crimean \u201cvatniks\u201d, who vote to join Russia in the March 16 referendum, then six weeks pass with them living under the Russian flag, but only the Odesa incident makes them decide to leave Ukraine.\r\n\r\nSo, let us recall the timeline of events before the fire in Odesa:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><strong>February 19<\/strong> \u2013 Fire breaks out in the Trade Unions Building in Kyiv after the unsuccessful assault by police forces.
