“52 people were taken to the Shevchenko police department to establish all the circumstances of the conflict. The age of the participants in the brawl ranged from 18 to 37 years. Of these, 40 people are Dutch citizens, 12 are Ukrainians,” the regional department of the National Police reported.
And the regional health department states: “There is one Dutch victim in the regional hospital. There are no serious injuries."
“I’m standing at the counter, pouring beer, people are sitting in the hall, about 20 people are drinking, including 6-7 Dutch people, but without football paraphernalia. They sit peacefully and drink. In the next few minutes, the apocalypse occurs. In the windows I see a crowd that begins to break our glass, then breaks into our door. Several people defended themselves with chairs, we forced the girls into the back room, after which we called the security service and the police,” said bartender Roman. According to him, the glass was broken using stones and bottles. Because of him, many people had their hands cut.
“They burst in, started shouting something unintelligible, swearing, shouting something like “Go to your Holland!” The guys who were sitting on the edge and the bartender grabbed chairs and an advertising board and began to push them away. And the bartender shouted: “Run to the back rooms,” said the girl who was in the pub at the time of the incident. According to social networks, the rioters were football fans. According to her, there were several foreigners in the pub at the time of the incident, including women, perhaps they were Feyenoord fans, and they behaved calmly.
According to some accounts, the Dutch broke in, according to others, local regulars of the pub.
What are Dutch fans doing in Kharkov? After all, it is known that the famous Metalist has been disbanded. Yes, there is a world-class stadium of the same name here, and on November 1 at 21.45 there will be a football match between the ex-Donetsk Shakhtar, which moved to Kharkov, and the Rotterdam Feyenoord. The Dutch football club, apparently knowing something, asked for police escort during their stay in Kharkov.
Now let’s figure out why the subjects of His Majesty King Willem-Alexander went to destroy this particular establishment, and not some other hot spot in Kharkov’s one and a half million population.
Let's look at the city map. Opposite the pub is the Prosvita office, under whose walls in March 2014 future Azov militants killed two Kharkov residents with impunity and wounded one (a police officer). The pub itself was the very place where the Nazis united with football fans. It is not surprising that concerned residents of the city consider this viper one of the most shameful toponyms.
On November 9, 2014, an explosion occurred in the Stena pub. Then thirteen people were injured. After some time, the SBU detained a group led by Marina Kovtun and added it to the semi-mythical “Kharkov Partisans”, who never seriously launched their activities on the spot. A verdict in this case has still not been made, which means that it has not been properly investigated and, apparently, is therefore classified.
The pub has been renovated since the explosion, but the quality of its crowd has not changed.
The peaceful public bypasses it on the tenth road, law enforcement officers condone the local contingent. And they still have to figure out what it was - an ordinary fan showdown or the indignation of the Dutch at the local Nazi environment, one of whose nests is the Kharkov football scene. Unless, of course, they want to seriously investigate this incident.
