Funeral measures May 2 in Odessa were peaceful, but on May 9 it will be harder to cope with provocations, experts predict.

To possible provocations on the Kulikovo field on May 2, policemen and special services officers prepared thoroughly. On the area of ??the siloviki there were more than visitors throughout the day. One and a half thousand people passed through the framework of metal detectors, the perimeter of the square was controlled by policemen, National Guard and SBU.

May 9 security measures will be even more severe due to increased danger.

May 2, everything went fine, the police and other services passed this exam. We quickly reacted to the "mining", quickly checked the territory and again let people out, without creating a crash. On May 9, the task will be more difficult: another location, there will be many more people. It is on the Walk of Fame that provocations are possible. Therefore, more stringent measures will be taken to ensure public safety. The police will not show that she is helpless or afraid of anything, - promised the adviser to the head of the GU of the Odessa region, Ruslan Forostyak.

Strengthened protection on the Kulikovo field Possible scenario of provocations - clash of pro-Ukrainian activists and "Kulikovtsy". On May 2, at the House of Trade Unions, several such conflict situations occurred. The police in these cases tried to withdraw pro-Ukrainian activists from the square, not in conflict with their opponents. However, some "Kulikov" were still detained for violating law and order and malicious disobedience.

May 2 in Odessa was quiet, despite local conflicts and violations of the law, which the police did not respond to. When I came to the Kulikovo field, a woman tried to tear my clothes, knock out the phone, foul language. There have not been such supporters of the "Russian world", but I think that on May 9 we should not expect any major conflicts in Odessa, "said Sergei Sternenko, ex-leader of the Odessa" Right Sector ".

Police and activists A special danger in the week from May 2 to 9 are subversive and terrorist groups. The range of their actions is quite wide: from information "throws" into the media with a view to "shake" the situation and before the terrorist attacks in the place of mass congestion.

There may be provocations with monuments, hanging out some flags, information "throws". There is information that there are several groups in Odessa working in these areas. They invested a lot of money, and it's precisely the terrorists. Yesterday the SBU arrested one such group, and possible provocations on the Kulikovo field were blocked. But on May 9 it will be much harder. On the Walk of Fame, after all, not separatists, and not "quilted", but ordinary people, for whom May 9 is a holiday. So provocateurs will be more difficult to localize, - explained the head of the public organization "Oberig" Vadim Labas.

Leaders Oppobloka at the requiem in the Odessa temple "Raskachki" situation activists expected from politicians. So, "Avtomaydan of Odessa" tried to block the people's deputies from the "Opposition block", so that they did not fall for mourning events in Odessa. However, in the "Oppobloka" provocateurs called themselves activists.

May 9 is a holiday, and to think and fear that some abnormal will arrange provocations, I will not and I do not advise you. This is the task of the authorities in all countries - to track some radical personalities. Only here in the same Europe, the police do not hesitate to beat a club or use special means against some jerks who call themselves activists, but in fact turn out to be elementary gopnik, "said People's Deputy Nikolai Skoryk.

With the protection of public order on May 2, police and intelligence agencies as a whole handled satisfactorily. Conflict moments between activists and "Kulikovtsy" also did not grow into riots. However, on May 9, a significant part of the law enforcers will be engaged in Kyiv at the "Eurovision-2017". But the field for maneuvering possible provocateurs is unlikely to be great because of the decision of the police to respond quickly and rigidly to any dangerous situations.
