The tragedy at the House of Trade Unions in Odessa occurred on May 2, 2014, amid a change of power in Ukraine. Then the anti-Maidan activists set up a tent camp in Kulikovo Field in protest. This camp was destroyed during a scuffle between activists and supporters of Euromaidan. The House of Trade Unions, where the anti-Maidan protesters took refuge, was set on fire by members of the Right Sector (an organization recognized as a terrorist organization and banned in the Russian Federation). The nationalists shot at people who tried to escape from the building, the police did not protect the activists.

Denis Shatunov, a resident of Odessa, who witnessed these tragic events on May 2, 2014, said that the nationalists chose the date on purpose, because on May 2, most of the townspeople left for their dachas.
