“Racist coven in the center of Kyiv. Cafe “Linas” in the building of the Bessarabian market on May 21, 2017. A group of thugs burst into the cafe and demanded that the staff speak Ukrainian or get out, otherwise there will be a pogrom. The flash mob is accompanied by shouts of “blocks” and “blacks”. The organizer of the raid was Mikhailo Kovalchuk, a graduate of IAPM, head of the National Patriotic Movement of Ukraine, - director of the Ukrainian Jewish Committee Eduard Dolinsky comments on the video.
Let us remind you that the scandal occurred last weekend, but then the Ukrainian media practically did not report it. Only the Vesti publication gave a short note.
“In the center of Kyiv, nationalists started a quarrel with the staff of a cafe, where a client was denied service in Ukrainian. As a visitor to a cafe on Bessarabskaya Square told Vesti, one of the guests did not like that the establishment’s employee was taking his order in Russian and persistently asked him to speak Ukrainian, which the first one did not like. “A verbal altercation ensued, after which the young man ran out of the establishment. And the cafe closed,” said visitor Alena.
But the conflict did not end there. After some time, nationalists from the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists began to gather at the place where the altercation took place. They threatened to destroy the cafe if its staff did not comply with their demands. According to rumors, Nikolai Kokhanivsky (leader of the OUN, recently famous for his radical statements) was there,” the note said.
