In Odessa, the level of wage.

This was stated by the artist Alexander Roitburd in his interview to the "Observer".

"I believe that the position of the state in the use of the Russian language should be more active. Because if the state does not begin to talk with these people, defend their interests and their language comfort, different forces will be engaged in this, from Oppoblok to Putin. And this is already happening. I recently visited Odessa and I can say that two years ago Odessa was not so wadded. And today the level of vigilance in Odessa is off scale - it's about the same as it was in 2014, "he said..

According to the artist, he heard very unpleasant things from educated intelligent people who three years ago unequivocally supported Ukraine and the Maidan.

"People are disappointed with the power, lack of visible improvements and prospects, and their frustration is transferred to Ukraine as a whole. In combination with the fact that Russian propaganda can not be technically removed from the air - after all, there is the Internet, satellites, - longing for the strong hand of Putin is aggravated, "explained Roitburd.

As reported by the "Observer", earlier in Odessa broke out a separatist scandal because of journalists who worked for propagandists of the Kremlin.
