Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin.
[ColonelCassad] Eight years ago, the Nazis killed several dozen residents of Odessa.
Together with the dead, the old post-Soviet Ukraine burned down with the House of Trade Unions.
After eight years, full-fledged military operations are underway on the territory of the Nazi freak that arose on the site of the burned-out Ukraine. Attempts to coexist with Nazism or to negotiate with him, did not bring results. As usual, he brought war with him.
As usual, Nazism has sponsors in the West who use it to their advantage. Therefore, calls to think again and look at "whom you created and support" do not work. The instrumental approach to supporting Nazism does not require morality, but requires the most familiar hypocrisy and double standards. Therefore, turning a blind eye to the brutality of the Nazis then, all the more easily in the "civilized West" close their eyes to their crimes now.
Therefore, no one can carry out denazification in Ukraine, except for ourselves.

Zakharova criticized the stars for their silence on the anniversary of the tragedy in Odessa
[RIA Novosti] Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova condemned the silence of Russian stars who left because of the special operation.
She noted that "without money, their patriotism cannot be stirred up."
"And now I have a question: who of those who have abruptly left now for vacation because of extreme fright, at least once, even briefly said about this (the tragedy in Odessa in 2014) in their programs, Telegram channels and Instagram * accounts?," asked Zakharova, having published earlier statements of the department about the tragedy in the Telegram channel.
She drew a parallel with the trips of Western celebrities to Ukraine.
"Angelina Jolie went to Lviv. Empathize. No one believes in her sincerity. And which of our media personalities, socialites and social activists of all stripes, at least mentioned Odessa? Or won't you raise advertising money for this?" She emphasized.
She also drew attention to the fact that some Russian stars ignored the events in the House of Trade Unions, and the situation in Bucha was "sorted out instantly."
"I don’t believe in their sincerity either. I believe that without money their “real patriotism” cannot be stirred up, and when the Fatherland, without demanding anything from them, just expects decent behavior, they are sharply fetidly frightened," summed up Zakharova.
Earlier, American media reported that American actress Angelina Jolie , who is a special envoy of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees ( UNHCR ), is in the city of Lviv as part of a "personal" visit to the region.
In Odessa, after the coup d'état in Ukraine in 2014, anti-Maidan activists set up a tent camp on Kulikovo field as a sign of protest.
On the afternoon of May 2, brawls began between anti-Maidan activists on the one hand and football ultras from Kharkov and Odessa, as well as Euromaidan participants, on the other. The fight ended with the destruction of the tent city, after which supporters of the coup d'état and nationalists set fire to the House of Trade Unions, in which representatives of the "anti-Maidan" took refuge. The victims of the tragedy that day were 48 people, more than 250 were injured.
International organizations have repeatedly pointed out to Kiev the lack of progress in the investigation of this tragedy and demanded that the Ukrainian authorities punish those responsible for the death of people. The trial in the case is dragging on and the investigation has actually done nothing for eight years to clarify all the circumstances of the tragedy.
