However, this didn't work out in Odesa. On 3 March 2014, the Odesa oblast council condemned Russian aggression, being the first in Ukraine to do so. The "Russian Spring" lost in Odesa Oblast. During March-April, thousands of activists on the sides of both Maidan and Antimaidan rallied. The Antimaidan camp was located at the so-called "Kulykove pole" square in front of the Trade Unions building, supported with financial infusions from the Kremlin, which however began to dry out closer to May. After an agreement with the city administration, the tents were to be removed prior to the annual May 9 Victory parade. On 2 May, a large football match was to be held, and a large pro-Ukrainian march was to precede it, involving the Euromaidan activists, self-defense forces, and football fans, who not only expressed their support for the Euromaidan movement during the months of protests but provided protections against attacks of government-sponsored thugs - a total of 1000 people.Read in more detail: Timeline of events in Odesa on 02.05.2014
300-400 activists of Kulykove pole also held a march. The police tried to separate the two columns, but leader of Antimaidan militia led his column into the pro-Ukrainian marchers. 4 self-defense forces were wounded. The Antimaidan camp at Kulykove Pole announced mobilization, and a white Ford of the militia came to scene of conflict delivering a Kalashnikov rifle live ammunition. Two men from the Euromaidan camp were killed. Later, the chief of police Dmytro Fuchedzhi was observed escaping together with the owner of this Ford, a certain Boatswain who was in charge of the mobile group of the Antimaidan, suggesting that they were well aquainted.

"The Odesa tragedy was a terrible incident that shocked the entire city," said Tetiana Herasymova, journalist and coordinator of the 2nd of May group. "We'll never know how many people went to the war in Donbas after the May 2 events and got killed, though they never intended to go to the war before. That's why I think that such propagandists as Arkadiy Mamontov, Vladimir Soloviet and many other Russian journalists are drenched in the blood of all those people from Russia and Ukraine who went to the war in Donbas saying 'We won't forget and won't forgive May 2.'"
Who is ultimately to answer for the incident? The film suggests we should always look to who benefits from it. The Odesa situation did not benefit Ukraine at all. Russian ideologists and propagandists badly needed a sacrifice ritual and so here it was. Throughout all these 2.5 years, attempts to destabilize Odesa are ongoing - 48 bomb explosions alone have been observed. They do not succeed, perhaps because people in Odesa are perfectly aware of what happened on the tragic day of 2 May 2014. And perhaps because in this city, people with radically opposing viewpoints have always lived together in peace, and continue to do so. The film is available with Greek, German, French, English, Spanish, and Italian subtitles.
