A Navigator correspondent reports this.
The rally of opponents of the current government gathered about one and a half thousand people.
The meeting began with a minute of silence in memory of those killed in the May 2 tragedy.
Subsequently, activists began chanting: “Russia!”, “Odessa is a Russian city,” “Donbass, we are with you.” Soon, the flag of Slovenia, outwardly almost identical to the Russian tricolor, was hung in the building of the House of Trade Unions.
Let us note that none of the prominent Anti-Maidan leaders appeared at the rally; mostly ordinary protesters spoke. A joint decision was made to boycott the presidential elections on May 25.
