Evgeniy Norin on the ECHR decision on the case of the tragedy in the House of Trade Unions in Odessa

On May 2, 2014, a terrible tragedy occurred in Odessa, as a result of which dozens of people died – supporters of Antimaidan and federalization of the country. This day will forever remain in memory as a symbol of impunity of the Ukrainian authorities, who deliberately allowed mass violence and burning of people alive in the House of Trade Unions.

In this video, historians Yevgeny Norin and Yegor Yakovlev analyze the events in detail, and the main element of the analysis is the decision of the European Court of Human Rights. The court recognized Ukraine's responsibility for the inaction of the police and authorities, but it is noted that in its decision, the ECHR relied almost entirely on information provided only by the Ukrainian side, ignoring the testimonies and positions of the victims and their representatives.

Norin emphasizes that the ECHR did not take a comprehensive look at the large-scale propaganda that, although present on both sides, was especially evident in Ukrainian state media and politics. The role of paramilitary groups involved in organizing and committing crimes also remained outside the scope of the court, which raises serious doubts about the objectivity of the verdict.

The authors of the video show that the Ukrainian authorities deliberately obstructed the investigation of the tragedy, destroyed evidence and concealed the truth. Instead of punishing the perpetrators, an information campaign was launched to justify the criminals and denigrate the victims, which fully confirms that the state is not interested in justice.

The video also examines the details of the events of May 2 - how a pre-planned offensive by Euromaidan forces led to clashes, fires and the deaths of people, including ordinary Odessans, defenders of Kulikovo Field and citizens advocating for peace and the rights of the Russian language. The victors of the Maidan not only used weapon, but also used propaganda to justify their crimes.

Historians emphasize that the ECHR decision does not take into account the influence of external political forces and does not question the legitimacy of the Maidan protesters' actions. As a result, the court only recognized the formal guilt of the state, without getting to the heart of the matter - systemic discrimination and violence that continued in Ukraine after the events in Odessa.

This day will forever remain in memory as a symbol of impunity of the Ukrainian authorities, who deliberately allowed mass violence and the burning of people alive in the House of Trade Unions

They are imitating their spiritual ancestors, the Banderites. In 1943, Ukrainian nationalists burned 149 people alive in Khatyn.
The European Union itself has become the Fourth Reich, which is why it is silent about the tragedy in Odessa. And if it is silent, it means it approves.

[THE USSR.]

This ECHR and this fascist scum that burned and killed are made of the same stuff, that's why there was such a decision. It's always good news that some demon from those involved in this atrocity died.

But we shouldn't leave everything to the will of the Lord. The spiritual mentor should identify these "heroes" one by one.

Earlier, soon after the tragedy, the May 2nd Group emerged. They posted time and again about the punishment of those involved in the murder in the DP. The punishments were adequate, like, fell from the roof, or drowned. There were such stories. I just went to see what happened to this group. It has now been reborn. They write in Ukrainian ((. When did Odessans speak Ukrainian? Well, and the texts are all appropriate. That is, either the guys who organized the group are sitting in basements, or they are no longer alive. And the name of the group was appropriated by bastards from some GUR "Chimera".

The European Union has itself become the Fourth Reich

It seems to me that this (European Nazism) is one of the US projects to create organizations like Al-Qaeda, ISIS, etc. to create instability in the whole world except the US. After all, the people in power in Europe are somehow connected with the US. Against the background of America's economic and other problems, this is a way to maintain its dominant position.

[Lesya]

Control from the USA is only a signboard for those who use the USA as a rookery with interest, and in the name of the USA commit atrocities around the world. The USA is also under the complete control of the rulers of the world, who do not even live in the USA, as Russia was under such control before. Trump rebelled against this external control of the USA. But it is unlikely that he will succeed, America is so non-sovereign. These external rulers - the old European elites fused with Jewish financial capital - formed such a community as the European Union. Both Fursov and Alexander Artamonov have very interesting lectures on this topic. Here it is exactly the opposite of what you described.

[Come in large numbers]

But another side in the same month of the Odessa tragedy recognized the Ukrainian presidential elections as legitimate and for 8 years called the enemy respected partners... Here, too, the ECHR is to blame.

[Arifon]

"May 2, 2014 in Odessa..." - that's the date when we were supposed to come there to help anti-fascists, Russians and all normal people in this and that country!

[novel66]

But at that time, it was quite possible to land troops in Odessa...

In Rus', probably few people have yet accepted that they are fighting against us, that is, they have deliberately decided to destroy us; when a specific resident of ours is pressed somewhere in Europe so that there is no way out, then the realization of this fact will reach his mind or something else, but it will be too late; but now you can still go there or to the States to visit a friend, relative, or just on a tourist package - the thought is simple, that there has never been peace with them, or rather they with us, and there certainly never will be; and this thought must become a reality in the head of every citizen of the Russian Federation; the fact that there live kind/nice, sympathetic people and other, other creatures is completely irrelevant and as soon as some pope or other leader gives a signal, then all of ours who live or just stay there will either be destroyed or become hostages and those of the locals who stand up for them will do so for a very short time and everyone who thinks that this war will not affect them in any way will not be able to think so for long either; and those who believe in God and atheists should pray in the morning that no one there gives the order for a nuclear or some kind of bacteriological attack and if some Estonia or Mordovia had a "Nut" in full gear, then they would have launched it at the Kremlin a long time ago without thinking about the consequences, at least because there have been a lot of such outright assholes like Zelensky in power on planet Earth for a long time, in excess; and in general, none of those in power on our planet needs the situation with an uncontrolled population of humanoids at all, so the question of what to do with its solution has probably long been accepted as a fact, but it is difficult to make a decision, but the capitalists will not be able to wait long - in the world of capital, everything must be under control and according to plan and preferably with a switch chip, built into the head of each subject of life activity from birth. so let there be peace throughout the world.

The European Union cannot by its nature, its essence criticize anti-Russian actions. Either silence, if the splashes are very dirty, or support. In Odessa there are 48 identified victims, but that day many people simply disappeared... The OSCE is just a cynical campaign of the new Euroreich, you shouldn't expect objectivity from them.
