Kharkov, Dnepropetrovsk and Simferopol remember May 2nd in Odessa
Today, on the first anniversary of the May 2nd massacre, activists of the communist movement Union Borotba (Struggle) paid tribute to the residents of Odessa who were killed by Ukrainian fascists: water in the fountain in the center of Kharkov was dyed blood red; flowers were laid in Dnepropetrovsk’s October Square park; and in Simferopol, at a wall honoring Andrei Brazhevski, solidarity was expressed with all those who fight against the criminal regime of oligarchs and neo-Nazis.
“With these actions, we recall that resistance to fascism lives in Ukraine and that the victims of Kulikova Field will be avenged. The Nazis in Kiev may ban communist ideology and Soviet symbols, but the ideas of social justice, the fight against fascism and capitalism, are alive among Ukrainian workers.
“Borotba stresses that the only way to stop poverty and terror is with solidarity. The solidarity of all the working people of Ukraine, Pavlograd miners, Kiev teachers, Kharkov steelworkers, Dnieper shipbuilders and Black Sea port workers, farmers of Galicia and Volyn, together with Donbass militias, will put an end to the looting and murder, and will return Ukraine to the path of development, democracy and socialism.
“Fascism will be destroyed! Ukraine will be free and socialist!” said Union Borotba.
