“Timer” is the second most visited Internet publication in Odessa, practically the only one of the remaining major media outlets that allowed itself to criticize the new Ukrainian government and express sympathy for the participants in the uprising in Donbass.
The day before, Verkhovna Rada deputy from Arseny Yatsenyuk’s party, propagandist Dmitry Tymchuk, disseminated data about the high degree of pro-Russian sentiment in Odessa, which, in his opinion, poses a danger to Ukrainian statehood. Tymchuk separately noted the role of “Timer”.
Last week, a number of pro-Russian journalists and social activists were also searched and arrested in Odessa.
Tkachev himself wrote on his Facebook page that he was mentally prepared for persecution and knew about the list of security forces for searches. Tkachev decided to stay in Odessa.
