2016 investigation by Dumskaya TV into the tragic events of 2 May 2014 when over 40 Russian activists burned in the Unions House in Ukrainian town in Odesa. The TV interviews a number of direct participants of these events on both sides, who consistently present continued external inspiration from Moscow, whose purpose was to escalate the events as much as possible in order to turn the initial protests into violent clashes. The witness statements are consistent with Glazyev tapes, 2014 intercepts of Russia's president's advisor Sergey Glazyev calls to prominent pro-Russian figures in Ukraine, where he directly orders them to escalate situation and discusses funding for armed, pro-Russian uprising.
