However, initially everything went quite calmly. Passions began to heat up when journalists from the 1+1 channel, owned by Dnepropetrovsk oligarch Igor Kolomoisky, tried to take comments from those gathered.
“Get out of here! “1+1” – murderers and fascists! – the indignant people began to shout. – The death of Elderberry is on your conscience. You can call “Azov”, “Right Sector”.
The “plus” journalist immediately stepped aside and, having contacted the editorial office by phone, reported the situation, after which she again tried to engage in conversation with the participants in the funeral ceremony.
“You all incited everything that is happening now in Ukraine - the people categorically continued to stand their ground. – The man who fought for real Ukraine lies in a coffin, and you are filming here – you need hard facts. He was an honest journalist, not corrupt like all of you.”
In addition to “1+1”, “First National” also received a portion of criticism.
“Channel One supports fascism,” said one of the participants in the skirmish.
"So what?" – came the answer from one of the journalists.
