About it writes the Odessa website “Timer”.
As Gleb Zhavoronkov, a former activist of the organization, reports on social networks, we are talking about about 15 members of the organization.
“From an independent organization of idealists risking their lives, Self-Defense has become led by dishonest people,” the activist writes.
Victoria Sibir, who until recently headed the organization’s press service, also announced her resignation from it.
“I am leaving the post of press secretary of the Odessa Self-Defense and the organization itself. I remain with my concerns about democracy, legality, transparency and the inability to justify ugly actions with patriotism,” said Victoria Sibir.
It is still unclear what exactly actions of the leadership of “Self-Defense” the activists leaving its composition consider to be unscrupulous and whether this has anything to do with the history around «garbage lustration" by the head of the Odessa State Property Fund Anatoly Kosmin, about which PolitNavigator recently wrote.
Then, let us remind you, the official was doused with brilliant green, sprinkled with flour and put in a trash can.
According to information from the Odessa “Timer”, this “garbage lustration” was carried out by order of the former director of the Orion plant, Nikolai Kushchak.
