On May, 2014 at walls of embassy of Ukraine in Moscow the delegation of All-Russian scientific-research institute of aviation materials (VIAM) has honored the memory of victims fallen during tragic events happened in Odessa and other cities in the southeast of Ukraine.

Let’s remind that conflicts between fascists and civilians in Odessa have begun in the afternoon on May 2 from mass fight on Grechskaya street. Then nationalists have set fire to the regional House of trade unions and tent camp on Kulikovo pole square where signatures was collected for holding a referendum on federalization of Ukraine and institutionalization of Russian as state language. As a result of disturbances and fire in the House of trade unions, where activists of «anti-maidan» took cover from rampant extremists, 46 people were killed, more than 200 have suffered. Bodies of many victims were so strongly scorched that it was not possible to identify them.
Today the Odessa regional council is collected for extraordinary session to state a distrust to state administration and power authorities in connection with the tragedy. As reports RIA Novosti, the public procurator's office of Odessa region has opened criminal cases against police officers who have allowed mass collisions of the Ukrainian ultranationalists with the inhabitants of Odessa, which led to death of tens of the citizens who support idea of federalization of Ukraine.
