In places like Ukraine even simple hikes in the forest provide memorials to the war dead from the Great War. You can't get away from it.


Odessa Massacre| America's Heroes

On May 1 st 15 busloads of western militants arrived in Odessa under a grouping called Stop Horowitz (a reference to the famous Odessa Jewish population) to help Pravy Sektor root out separatists.


On May 2 nd in front of the Trade Unions Building a group of 250 locals mostly middle aged, women, and pensioners were holding a rally to get signatures for the federalization referendum that is reported in the press. Federalization would decentralize the government not break up the country.

Included in that 250 were about 3 dozen volunteers to guard against radicals causing trouble while people were signing up.

During the day while the signature drive was going on,radicals under the Stop Horowitz group started making their way over to the rally. Thousands of militants and maidan activists rampaged through the streets brutalizing local residents as they came. Throughout this footage people are beat unconscious. At the 9:26 mark it becomes apparent what is going on.

Police that are following the militants stop and help a victim whose foot had just been amputated with an ax at 9:26 in this video.


While this was happening the young women in Stop Horowitz prepared the Molotov cocktails and carried them to the Trade Unions Building. Bandera genocide is both equal opportunity and a family affair.

The photo below shows the size of the signature drive rally on the steps of the Trade Unions Building and the arrival of thousands of of radicals into the plaza.


F irst Pravy Sektor set fire to the Orthodox chapel tent set up and then to everything else. The people at the rally had no weapons and could not defend themselves against thousands of armed radicals storming them. According to a survivor they were herded into the customs house and then it was set ablaze with Molotov cocktails. The building was surrounded and every exit was blocked.

As the fire spread the people inside that tried to escape were clubbed to death with iron bars. People trying to jump out of second and third story windows to get out of the inferno were shot by police.
