The decommunization process is the beginning of the Ukrainian population's consciousness changing process. This was reported by the lawyer of the Ukrainian Institute of National Memory Sergey Ryabenko.

On May 2, an enlarged meeting of the People’s Council Committee on Foreign Policy, International Relations, Information Policy and Information Technology was held to commemorate the third anniversary of the Odessa tragedy. “Anti-Maidan” activists from Odessa were invited to the event.

The following interesting news from Ukraine: now the Kiev government under the guise of needs for the state grabs and launches business at the expense of budgetary funds. Raiding with direct participation of the Ukrainian leadership's representatives has reached an unprecedented scale. Western investors are ready to flee the country, but the thing is that for them, the investments in Ukraine turned out to be ‘one-way ticket’.

On May 2, a film in memory of the victims of the tragedy, which took place in Odessa in 2014, was screened in the Taras Shevchenko House of Cinema in Donetsk. The Chairman of the DPR People’s Council Denis Pushilin took part in the official part of the event.

On May 1, open district competitions in kurash wrestling to honour a merited freestyle wrestling coach Viktor Sodel were held in urban-type settlement Telmanovo. The Chairman of the DPR People’s Council Denis Pushilin visited the event as a guest of honour.

Almost every event, which involves victorious “Maidan” activists, is not without a demonstration of Nazi symbols and manifestations of xenophobia. This time, the Ukrainian followers of Nazism were wearing the Ku Klux Klan hats with the swastika on it at the football match “Dinamo” – “Shakhtar”.

On April 26, a meeting of the Contact group on the peaceful conflict settlement in the Donbass was held in Minsk. The agenda included issues related to the blockade of the People's Republics, as well as humanitarian issues.

On April 24, a round table on the topic "Achievements of the Donetsk People's Republic for three years" was held in the building of the Donetsk city council.

In Ukraine, a series of vandalism acts continues, only now they are carried out to obtain immediate material benefits. If earlier "activists" used to destroy monuments and memorial complexes in the name of their neo-Nazi ideas, now they look at historical objects as scrap metal which can be sold.

Another term of Ukraine's receipt of a loan from the IMF is coming up, and again the issue of reforming the pension system is becoming topical on the agenda.
