2014 Odessa Clashes
The 2014 Odesa clashes were a series of conflicts between pro-Maidan and anti-Maidan demonstrators that broke out in the streets of Odesa as part of the rising unrest in Ukraine in the aftermath of the 2014 Ukrainian revolution. Violence intensified on May 2 when a pro-Maidan demonstration was attacked by anti-Maidan activists. Two pro-Maidan and four anti-Maidan activists were killed by gunfire in the streets. In the ensuing clashes, the pro-Maidan demonstrators moved to dismantle an anti-Maidan tent camp in Kulykove Pole, causing groups of anti-Maidan activists to take refuge in the nearby Trade Unions House. Pro-Maidan demonstrators attempted to storm the Trade Union House, which caught fire as the two sides threw petrol bombs at each other. The events resulted in deaths of 48 people, 46 of whom were anti-Maidan activists. 42 of the victims died in the Trade Unions House fire, and 200 were injured. The events were the bloodiest civil conflict in Odesa since 1918. Altho ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
2014 Pro-Russian Unrest In Ukraine
From the end of February 2014, demonstrations by pro-Russian and anti-government groups took place in major cities across the eastern and southern regions of Ukraine in the aftermath of the Revolution of Dignity, which resulted in the success of Euromaidan in ousting then-President Viktor Yanukovych. The unrest, supported by Russia in the midst of the Russo-Ukrainian War, has been referred to in Russia as the "Russian Spring" (russian: Русская весна, translit=Russkaya vesna, uk, Російська весна, translit=Rosiiska vesna). During its first phase in February–March 2014, the Ukrainian territory of Crimea was invaded and subsequently annexed by Russia following an internationally unrecognized referendum, with the United Nations General Assembly voting in favor of Ukraine's territorial integrity. Concurrently, protests by anti-Maidan and pro-Russian groups took place across other parts of eastern and southern Ukraine. Local separatists, some direct ...

Odessa Brigade
At least two separatist pro-Russian militias during the Russo-Ukrainian War adopted the name Odessa Brigade. The older unit, officially the Separate Brigade of Special Purpose "Odessa" or OBRON "Odessa", originated as a militant anti-Maidan group founded in March 2014. Following the 2014 Odesa clashes, several pro-Russian militants from Odesa reorganized themselves into a separatist militia in Luhansk. This unit was disbanded in January 2015, probably as a result of inter-separatist power struggles. A second unit, also named the "Odessa Brigade", was founded during the Southern Ukraine campaign in 2022. History First unit The important port city of Odesa (also spelled "Odessa") was one of the locations where pro- Euromaidan and anti-Maidan groups clashed during the Revolution of Dignity of 2014 and the following period of pro-Russian unrest.

Council Of Europe
The Council of Europe (CoE; french: Conseil de l'Europe, ) is an international organisation founded in the wake of World War II to uphold human rights, democracy and the rule of law in Europe. Founded in 1949, it has 46 member states, with a population of approximately 675 million; it operates with an annual budget of approximately 500 million euros.

Anti-Maidan
The anti-Maidan ( uk, Антимайда́н, Antymaidan; russian: Антимайдан, Antimaydan) refers to a number of pro-Russian demonstrations in Ukraine in 2013 and 2014 that were directed against Euromaidan and later the new Ukrainian government. The initial participants were in favor of supporting the cabinet of the second Azarov government, President Viktor Yanukovych, and closer ties with Russia. By the time of the Revolution of Dignity in February 2014, the “anti-Maidan” movement had begun to decline, and after the overthrow of Yanukovych, the anti-Maidan fractured into various other groups, which partially overlapped. These ranged from people protesting against social ills, to supporters of a federalization of Ukraine, to pro-Russian separatists and nationalists.
