Nazi terror in Kharkov: pogromists in camouflage and balaclavas destroyed a gaming club
Militants from right-wing radical neo-Nazi organizations “Hundreds of Leva”, “Slobozhanska Cossack Varti”, “HORT”, “Right Sector” yesterday evening broke into a gambling establishment in the area of the South Station and found working slot machines and several visitors in the salon. All those who were inside the casino were forcibly dragged out into the street by men in camouflage uniforms and balaclavas and laid face down on the sidewalk.

"All would-be gamers will learn a lesson later in life, at least in Kharkiv," the Nazis declared on social media.
They called the police, and while law enforcement officers were responding to the call, they destroyed the slot machines with wooden sticks and batons.
The press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the Kharkov region clarified that police from the Leninsky regional department responded to the call and seized 19 slot machines.
“The police did not receive any complaints from citizens about bodily injuries or damage to property,” the press service said.
It is noteworthy that the criminal case was opened not against right-wing pogromists who acted as “voluntary police assistants,” but against the owners of a gambling establishment.
Investigators have opened criminal proceedings under the article “Engagement in the gambling business” of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, which is punishable by a fine of ten thousand to forty thousand non-taxable minimum income of citizens and confiscation of gambling equipment.
As PolitNavigator previously reported, Right Sector militants are already patrolling the Southern Railway Station in Kharkiv, replacing the disbanded police station.
