facebook photo report on the attack within hours of the incident ukrainian netizens unearthed the vkontakte page photos of the most conspicuous of the assailants the young man in a black adidas tracksuit who featured prominently not just in sodel s photos but in this video by ivashkina as well netizens soon identified the man as vadym titushko nicknamed rumyn a romanian a 20 year old resident of bila tserkva a town near kyiv once a promising junior athlete specializing in various martial arts titushko was now using his fighting skills to earn some cash as a security guard at political rallies as tetyana danylenko wrote uk on facebook such moonlighting appears to be a common practice among young athletic people in ukraine s small towns at bila tserkva s fight clubs what people like titushko do is regarded simply as business for children who train there this business isn t just inevitable future but to some extent even a dream in a video statement ru that he posted on youtube on may 20 two days after gaining his dubious fame he claimed that he and his friends had been hired to protect the opposition rally on may 18 iurii panin and other journalists however compiled and presented photo and video evidence that suggested that titushko and his friends had been working at the party of regions event that day the police initially refused to search for titushko and so

the police investigation finally appeared to be underway journalists continued to protest on may 22 at a government session at the cabinet of ministers a group of journalists turned their backs on pm mykola azarov to let him and others see the posters attached to their shirts today the female journalist tomorrow your wife sister daughter act azarov reacted by ordering their accreditations to be revoked on may 23 however another group of journalists staged a protest outside the cabinet of ministers to support their colleagues which must have prompted azarov to change his mind about the order he had given on may 27 a group of journalists together with activists of the stop censorship movement uk put more pressure on the authorities by setting up a tent in front of the ministry of internal affairs despite some resistance uk from the police they called the tent a temporary information center and spent three days and two nights taking turns to guard it on may 29 they summed up the results

ukraine on facebook kostiantyn stogniy mentioned ru that even though it s been over six months since the attack on tv journalist anna petrenko in early september 2012 the perpetrator has not been brought to justice yet and on may 25 at the height of the public outrage over the may 18 attack two more journalists were beaten one andriy kachor in the town of brovary uk near kyiv and the other one vyacheslav konovalov in kyiv ru these cases however have not received as much attention as the attack on snitsarchuk and sodel blogger levko of foreign notes translated ukrainian journalist mustafa nayyem s explanation ru of what the attacks against journalists and the journalists fight against violence mean in a broader context the feeling of powerlessness and humiliation experienced by my journalist colleagues is every day and every minute also experienced by millions of other ukrainians not because they are being hit and sworn at but because with the advent of the current authorities malevolence rudeness and animal instincts are increasingly winning the day all this is occurring not just openly but demonstratively and is accompanied with a silent grin by a party which is cultivating total permissiveness based on the rights of greater force if it is not stopped there will be war but not over slogans not over parties and not over languages but over the right for basic human dignity posted by nika 1 comment under ukraine 69th anniversary of crimean tatar deportations memory and politics in crimea global voices online tuesday may 21 2013 on may 18 some 30 000 people gathered at a rally in crimea s capital simferopol to honor the memory of the victims of the 1944 crimean tatar deportations and to demand the immediate resignation of anatoly mogilev the former ukrainian interior minister who is now the chairman of crimea s council of ministers j otto pohl wrote briefly en about the deportation that took place 69 years ago this saturday is the 69th anniversary of the deportation of the crimean tatars from their peninsular homeland on the black sea to the deserts of uzbekistan and the wet forests of the urals the nkvd rounded up almost the entire population and took them to rail stations where they were stuffed like cattle into box cars in three days over 180 000 people had been expelled from their homes and sent on a long and arduous journey eastward the official reason for the deportation was the false charges of treason brought against the whole population by the stalin regime however the number of crimean tatars that fought with the germans about 10 000 was quite small compared to a number of other nationalities that were not subject to wholesale deportation upon arriving in uzbekistan and the urals the crimean tatars were placed under special settlement restrictions on 26 november 1948 the soviet government decreed the deportations and special settlement restrictions to be forever the death of stalin on 5 march 1953 brought about an eventual end of the special settlement regime and on 28 april 1956 the soviet government freed the crimean tatars from these restrictions they however were not allowed to return to crimea in any significant numbers until 1987 near the very end of the soviet regime even today they still face obstacles to resettling in their homeland and nearly 100 000 still remain in uzbekistan a crimean tatar woman at the may 18 commemoration of the 1944 crimean tatar deportations photo by andy ignatov used with permission on facebook oleksandr starish also wrote ru about the tragic events of 1944 despite the fact that the crimean tatars were fighting in the ranks of the red army and participated in the guerilla movement the basis for their deportations was an accusation of collaboration with the third reich deportations began early in the morning of may 18 and ended on may 20 1944 over 32 000 nkvd troops were employed in the operation those crimean tatars who were fighting in the red army units were also deported upon demobilization in 1945 46 8 995 crimean tatar war veterans were exiled assessments of the numbers of those who died in this period vary according to the soviet official data 15 25 percent died and according to the activists of the crimean tatar movement who were gathering the information about the victims in the 1960s the figure is up to 46 percent starish ended his post with these words in three languages russian turkish which is related to crimean tatar and ukrainian i don t know if one can repent someone else s sins but every person must bow to the memory of the innocents who were murdered regardless of one s ethnicity or religion idil p izmirli explained the political component of the may 18 rally in this jamestown foundation article en crimea differs from the rest of ukraine because it is the only autonomous republic with its own unicameral parliament with 100 members and council of ministers thus having a similar institutional structure to that of the ukrainian state under all previous presidents of ukraine the planning of this may 18 crimean tatar remembrance day of victims of the deportation event had received considerable support from both the crimean and the ukrainian authorities in fact during these commemorative gatherings alongside the mejlis officials and the mufti religious authority of crimea a representative of the ukrainian president the head of the crimean parliament and the head of the ukrainian orthodox church of kyiv patriarchate uoc kp participated in the ceremonies in 2013 however under anatoli mogilev the chairman of the council of ministers in crimea the governmental attitude to the day of remembrance has changed drastically mogilev was appointed by president viktor yanukovych in november 2011 insisting that he was ill he opted out of the may 18 gatherings in 2012 marking the first time a crimean leader did not participate in this event even before his appointment mogilev was well known in crimea for his anti tatar sentiments his brutal order of police units berkut to attack peacefully protesting crimean tatar business owners in the ai petri hills in 2007 while he was a police chief and his subsequent krymskaya pravda article 2008 in which he praised the joseph stalin era deportation of the crimean tatars http www unpo org article 10968 on february 25 2013 under mogilev s leadership the crimean authorities announced that the may 18 event needed to be approved by the crimean council of ministers consequently the simferopol city council declared that they were going to ban the annual may 18 gathering that has been organized by the crimean tatar mejlis since the early 1990s this decision of the crimean authorities was not received well by mustafa cemilev the head of the mejlis who stated that crimean tatars will come to the central square in simferopol as a large collective regardless of the ban and if they are not allowed to hold their remembrance day then they will block the roads paralyze traffic and take their protests to other regions of crimea the may 18 commemoration of the 1944 crimean tatar deportations photo by andy ignatov used with permission simferopol based journalist zair akadyrov wrote ru today at the rally in simferopol every 100th crimea resident has pointed mogilev to the exit and now imagine if every 100th ukrainian did the same at maidan independence square in ukraine s capital kyiv no less kyiv was having its own political rallies on may 18 and even though the turnout at the opposition s event was rather high it could still hardly match the crimean tatar one in genuineness and determination kyiv based journalist victor tregubov shared a photo of the simferopol crowd and wrote this ru they say there were 35 40 thousand people and looking at this photo i tend to believe this according to various assessments there are 270 to 340 thousand crimean tatars living in crimea it means that every 8th crimean tatar is present
