In Odessa, May 2 became a sacred date - a kind of "narcotic needle", from which it is impossible to "jump off".

About this on her Facebook page wrote Odessa public figure Zoya Kazanji.

She stressed that in this story, one thing is certain: the city survived a tragedy that changed its history.

Here is the text of Kazani completely:.

"Three years later, on May 2, Odessa became not just a day of commemoration of the victims, or, for example, a day of reconciliation, repentance,. This day turns into a kind of sacred date, without which none of the parties can not do without. May 2 becomes a narcotic needle, from which it is impossible to jump, even with all desire. Although there is no special desire. Because life without a needle is boring and uninteresting.

Once a year, radical groups of two camps have their eyes lit up. Because the sacred dates increase your own self-esteem, make your chaotic and fragmented efforts meaningful and sort of as important. Radicals on both sides, seeing each other, understand that the struggle is not over - the "Nazi fascists" and "Russian-Moslem separatists" are scampering around,.

The first celebrate the victory and argue this by the fact that due to May 2, Odessa did not repeat Donetsk / Lugansk.

And, in my opinion, they are not so far from the truth.

Judging by the tons of dollar cash that was actively supplied to Odessa by many, from Russian diplomats to Moscow Patriarchate staff, no one was going to leave us alone. We were fortunate in one thing - that the leaders of Antimaydan and their curators were too greedy. They worked for those who paid money. Therefore, they were overbought several times. The crowd, led by them, demanded actions. It was they who craved our blood. Therefore, in fact, and went, contrary to all agreements, storming the pre-match March for Ukrainian independence.

Interestingly, if they had won then what would they celebrate today and what would they talk about these days?.

It was after 2 May that all the "leaders" of Antimaydan fled to a friendly crowd first to the Crimea and settled in warm places. But the parasites and traitors of the homeland do not like anywhere else. And they went to Donetsk, to work out salaries and karma. And from there, realizing that the life of the traitors is not so sweet, they wandered farther. Who. Now they are broadcasting, closely monitoring any sneeze in Odessa, at home. And it is on the eve of May 2 that their services are especially needed by the Kremlin propaganda. Fugitive separatists are a vivid illustration of the growing marasmus of the current Russian authorities and media. Well, they need to light up the face to remind owners: here we are, we serve as we can, give us a ruble, do not forget about us!.

The latter can not leave any fantasies about the arrival of the "Russian world" and, thanks to the sacred date, have the opportunity to keep their supporters excited in the excitement, mobilizing in trifles to be able to mobilize on May 2, curling at the rally in the middle of the city not for the deceased, but thinking about their Benefit, political career, and earnings again.

Obviously one thing: the city survived the tragedy. Nothing like this was in modern history. Tragedies are usually given in order to overestimate many things. All sides draw conclusions and move on, forward. One should not turn patriotism into business and stand on the side of Evil. Others stop exploiting grief and crave revenge, in order to solve their own, usually political issues.

They did not win. It was this chance for us, those who were born, grew up and want to live in an independent and free country. We have defended it and we will not give it up..

2 May, at 18. 00, Greek prayer to commemorate the dead on May 2.

The first on that day were the pro-Ukrainian Odessa citizens Igor Ivanov and Andrei Biryukov. Their deaths and became the trigger. Do not forget about this ".
