Odessa
Founded by decree of Empress Catherine II in 1794 on the site of a fortress built not earlier than Alexander Suvorov.
Historically, the city was settled by settlers, immigrants from the central part of Russia and Jews
national composition of odessa in 1897:
Russians~60%
Jews~30%
The city became the main port of the Russian Empire on the Black Sea.
After 70years existence of Soviet Union and Ukrane we had ~50% Ukrainian sectarians and ~40% of Russian
After the burning of Russian activists alive (as far as I know, as a Russian, this is not accepted in Europe) on May 2, 2015, for Odessa, the demolition of historical sites, torture and disappearances of people, the crisis and rocket strikes became the norm
