The Russian oppositionist, 13th world chess champion Garry Kasparov, expressed the conviction that the selfless actions of Ukrainian patriots during the fire in the House of Trade Unions in Odessa on May 2, 2014 prevented a much larger tragedy.

The corresponding entry appeared on Garry Kasparov's official Facebook page.

"Three years ago in Odessa, a tragedy occurred - as a result of provocation from the pro-Kremlin separatist forces in the clashes killed dozens of people. In retrospect, it is obvious that the selfless actions of Ukrainian patriots prevented a much larger tragedy, which would inevitably result in the implementation of the Donbas scenario of "hybrid" Russian aggression in the region, "wrote Kasparov.

He further noted that the tragedy in Odessa confirmed: any attempts to turn a blind eye to aggression or "pacify" the aggressor only increase the price that will have to be paid in the future. The oppositionist explained his point of view on historical examples: if in 1938 England and France rejected Hitler's claims to Czechoslovakia, this would most likely lead to the outbreak of hostilities, but would prevent the Second World with tens of millions of victims; If North Korea took action in 1994, now a crazy dictator would not threaten the world with a nuclear button.

"Similarly, the toothless reaction of the world community to the military aggression of Putin against Georgia paved the way for new military adventures of the Kremlin Fuhrer, a stone on the stone that does not leave the international security system. Sooner or later there will come a time when further escape from reality will be impossible, and the civilized world will have to respond to this challenge, but the price of the answer will increase many times by that time, "the author of the post believes." Today only a complete dismantling of the Putin regime and the model built by him State leaves Russia a chance for the future. The sooner this criminal, the imperial state structure built according to the Soviet-gebesh blueprints is destroyed, the more chances for historic Russia to regain a worthy place in the family of civilized states, "concluded Kasparov.

His post has received more than 800 likes and 200 publications.

The journalist, Russian nationalist Oleg Kashin, reprinted the publication of Garry Kasparov with an indignant comment: "In retrospect, it is obvious that the selfless actions of Ukrainian patriots prevented a much larger tragedy, which would inevitably result in the implementation of the Donbas scenario of" hybrid "Russian aggression in the region. Oh *, of course,.

In the comments under the turnout, a discussion arose about what actually happened on May 2, 2014 in Odessa and who was to blame for it, and also about Garry Kasparov as a person and politics.

Nikolay Alekseenko wrote: "And all this time I thought that it was an accident, used by propaganda on both sides. Is it really the arson? "Oleg Kashin replied:" Well, what a miserable, what are you. They were also finished off later when they jumped ". In turn, Dmitry Borodin answered Kashin: "And in other photos you can see how they were pulled out and rescued. And all this is anger, if we consider that on the other hand two thirds took, got out and left simply, including all the leaders and organizers. And no one caught them and did not finish them off - they took it and left. Just". Victoria Borodina syronized: "Kashin turned into a grandmother on a bench. - They were killed. I have seen. Stream is not an argument. I'm Kashin. I so see ".

Sima Orekhanov was glad that Kasparov clearly expressed his position - otherwise, they say, someone would vote for him: "Well, if suddenly after the regime change someone would have decided that it was worthwhile voting for Kasparov".

Eugene Antonyuk commented: "I remember that Bobby Fisher praised Al-Qaeda, denied the Holocaust and called for the destruction of America, occupied by the Jews. We still do not know much about how to become world chess champions. "Ruslan Shakurov asked a rhetorical question:" I wonder at what moment Harry Kimovich himself passed the point of no return, after which a return to a normal person without the help of a psychiatrist became impossible? ".

Sergei Kovalev showed a fundamentally different approach to the topic:

"Here, rather, it is interesting that Kasparov writes about it at all, polemicizing with conditional witnesses of the Colorado ribbon. The Russians were forced through a television set that this fire is some most important historical event. We, unfortunately, have this "only" episode of the war in which 10,000 people died ".

As reported by the "Observer", Ukrainians were reminded of the essence of the tragedy on May 2 in Odessa.
