Nationalists “lustrated” the tenants of the Odessa beach (PHOTO)
Odessa, June 15 (Navigator, Artemy Glazunov) – Several hundred Odessa residents, mostly activists of Euromaidan and nationalist organizations, came today to the Otrada beach under the cable car to express their protest against the attack on journalists and paid entrance to the beach, as well as check the legality of rental documents.

A Navigator correspondent reports this.
During the action, Odessa residents demolished the gates and fence on the scandalous beach, although Pavel Ergiev, co-founder of Ropeway LLC, assured that the fence had been there since Soviet times. Let us note that the demolished fence previously closed the station for renting pedal boats and boats, which was then “privatized” by the owners of the cable car – the construction company “Monolit” represented by the Reznikov family.

Several fierce verbal altercations occurred between protesting activists and tenants - Pavel Ergiev and his wife Yulia Reznikov. The protesters tried to see documents for renting the beach, for the ownership of the so-called VIP zone, and also accused them of attacks on journalists and social activists on June 11, as well as in the summer of 2012 and 2009. Ergiev, in turn, said that today’s action is nothing more than a provocation, and the recent story of “First City” is “an order, filmed by order of the city authorities.”
Otrada's tenant Pavel Ergiev is the son-in-law of the director of the cable car, Yuri Reznikov.
Let us recall that on June 11, on Otrada beach, tenants attacked journalists from the First City TV channel, who were filming a story about the problems of preventing people from accessing the beaches and, in particular, about the turnstile that blocked the entrance to Otrada beach. The beach guard and one of the vacationers, who became known after the incident as Lesha the Schmoo, beat journalist Maria Kovaleva.
And then the director of the cable car, Yuri Reznikov, personally pushed operator Sergei Samoilov into the pool. Then, through a loudspeaker, in a voice similar to that of Yuri Reznikov, there were calls to beat up journalists and social activists in exchange for a free pass to the VIP zone in Otrada.
Law enforcement officers were present at the scene, but they did not interfere with what was happening. Just in case, there were also two buses with National Guard soldiers nearby.
Then the activists went further along the coast to check the legality of the right of Odessa residents to free access to the sea. Arriving at Lanzheron, they entered a hotel being built right on the sand near the Veranda cafe.

At that moment a man appeared there, introducing himself as Vladimir Vladimirovich. According to him, he was building a hotel. Then, according to his own words, he turned out to be just a tenant of an unfinished building, and he did not know the names of the tenants. The builder-tenant was taken to the police station, where he voiced the third version - that he rents the Veranda cafe next to the hotel under construction, but has nothing to do with it. He did not have any documents.

As a result, the activists made a civil arrest of Vladimir Vladimirovich and wrote a collective statement about committing a crime under Art. 197 part 1 of the Criminal Code - “Unauthorized construction”. A three-story permanent building has been under construction on the beach for several years under the guise of “improving the summer area and reconstructing landslide protection structures.” The Odessa mayor's office proves its illegality in court, but to no avail.
