Victory Day in Ukraine has passed relatively peacefully despite some bugs in the Dnieper, Odessa and some other cities.
On May 3, famous leader of Antimaydan, Yuri Kot, who is currently in Moscow, announced his participation in Kiev action “Immortal Regiment” five hundred of his “sports friends” and declared that they were only given an excuse. Well, obviously there was no reason. There was a lot of police and all potential frauds with turmoils were operatively localized. The blocking by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of OUN headquarters near the Park of Glory can be considered as the biggest run-in. 26 activists of this organization were detained here. They were detained after they had thrown a burning fire at the police officers.
The action was very numerous. The representative of the Right sector was standing at the monument. However, the forces of police and the National Guard, who accompanied those who wished to put flowers at the Eternal Flame, have worked very well. At the same time, soldiers were holding the national flags of Ukraine, and the police did not let them carry red flags and St. George ribbons. As a result, it did not go beyond verbal skirmishes and a few smoke bombs.
Swearing like this turned into a fight in Dnieper. It involved “titushki”, police and veterans of the ATU. One of the “ATOs” was hit by a head. Although everything could have ended and worse, provocations were clearly being prepared. Interior Minister Arsen Avakov responded promptly, on the morning of May 10, the chiefs of the regional and city police departments and several other officials were dismissed. Attorney General Yuriy Lutsenko also promptly reported that 8 “titushek” – participants in the riots were arrested.
The fight was in Nikolayev as well, but it was short-lived. The festive column was led by the “Afghans” who had solved the problem on the spot, practically not involving the police.
In Odessa, Zaporozhe and a number of other cities there were local conflicts because of St. George’s ribbons. However, they did not reach serious level. The ribbons were removed and the citizens continued to celebrate Victory Day.
Victory Day is without a doubt a bright and great holiday. And a huge number of flowers at the Eternal Flame says about the fact that people remember about this day. This time the authority worked well, on a solid “four”. However, the authorities still have much to do to smooth out conflicts and contradictions in the society. Sooner or later, society itself will have to make reconciliation steps towards each other and determine its historical priorities.
