ER Editor: A reminder that the Maidan coup in 2014 was run by the western deep state under Obama and Victoria Nuland to rid Ukraine of its democratically elected leader, pro-Russian Viktor Yanukovych, who had put an association agreement with the EU on hold around that time. The coup would thus turn Ukraine into a military threat to Russia right on its own doorstep.
Opponents of this ousting of their president protested in Odessa outside the trade union building in early May 2014. They were then pushed inside it on a pretext, locked in and burned to death. Explosives were also set. Those who tried to escape by jumping out of windows were beaten. Some deceased inside the building seemed to have been stabbed and/or raped before being individually set alight. We recommend any of the three links below. The first link below contains images of that day; this link provides more (warning, graphic images).
What we weren’t told at the time was that the thugs who did this were actual Nazis, supporting the western Neocons, some of whom are pictured below.

The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) has found Ukraine guilty for some of its actions and deliberate negligence on that fateful day for the anti-Maidan protestors.
This is the original RT report to which the Kremlin responds below–
Ukraine guilty over 2014 Odessa massacre – ECHR
The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) has ruled that the Ukrainian authorities were responsible for the deaths of 42 anti-coup activists in the city of Odessa in 2014. They lost their lives when Ukrainian nationalists, who supported the armed takeover in Kiev weeks earlier, torched the port city’s Trade Unions House where the protesters had gathered.
“The Court concluded that the relevant authorities had not done everything they reasonably could to prevent the violence, to stop that violence after its outbreak, and to ensure timely rescue measures for those trapped in the fire in the Trade Union Building,” the ECHR said in its decision published on Thursday.
More than a decade later, Kiev has not named or prosecuted any of the perpetrators. Instead, it pinned the blame on Moscow, claiming that the events in Odessa were “a pre-planned and well-financed operation” by the Russian security services. Moscow has repeatedly called for an investigation, even a special tribunal on the massacre.
Relatives of 25 victims, as well as three people who had survived the fire, filed complaints against Kiev with the ECHR. …
The ECHR has ordered Kiev to pay all the applicants varying amounts of compensation and cover their legal costs. According to the Ukrainian media, the claimants are to receive between €12,000 and €17,000 each ($13,028 to $18,456). Ukraine has not commented on the ruling so far.

Kremlin comments on ECHR Odessa massacre ruling
The European Court of Human Rights found Ukraine responsible for failing both to prevent the 2014 tragedy and to properly investigate it
RT
The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) ruling holding Ukraine accountable for the massacre in the city of Odessa in 2014 appears to be a “glimpse of common sense,” Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told TASS on Friday. However, a single ruling is not enough to draw broader conclusions, he added.
The ECHR found the Ukrainian authorities guilty of the deaths of the so-called anti-Maidan activists, who burned to death after taking refuge in the Odessa trade union building, which was subsequently set on fire by radical nationalists. The court ruled on Thursday that Ukraine failed to take all reasonable steps to prevent the violence, halt it once it began, or rescue those trapped in the building.
“A very belated decision, but it seems like a glimpse of common sense,” Peskov remarked. “To confirm this, we need to see other similar actions. Which, of course, we would like to witness.”
On May 2, 2014, clashes erupted in Odessa between Ukrainian nationalists, who supported the armed coup in Kiev that had occurred several weeks before, and those who opposed it. The pro-Maidan activists attacked a tent where local residents were gathering signatures for a referendum on the federalization of Ukraine and recognition of Russian as a state language.
Outnumbered by the far-right radicals, the anti-coup activists took refuge inside the city’s trade union building. However, the nationalists surrounded the building, lobbed Molotov cocktails at it and eventually set it on fire, resulting in 48 deaths and over 200 people injured.
More than a decade later, Kiev has neither identified nor prosecuted any of the perpetrators. Instead, it has shifted the blame to Moscow, alleging that the events in Odessa were “a pre-planned and well-financed operation” by the Russian security services. Moscow has repeatedly called for an investigation into the massacre, even advocating for a special tribunal to be convened.
Relatives of 25 victims, along with three survivors of the fire, filed complaints against Ukraine with the ECHR. The court ruled that the Ukrainian police had “had ignored the available intelligence and the relevant warning signs” and made no “meaningful attempt to prevent the clashes” that led to the fire. While the ECHR acknowledged that “propaganda from Russia had had its part” in tensions being escalated, it admitted that this did not absolve Kiev of responsibility for the massacre.
