. A shorter URL for the above link: . http://tinyurl.com/okgacyf . .Odessa's House of Trade Unions is a five-storey marble palace in the grand style favoured by Stalin-era architects. It could be the centrepiece of almost any city in the former Soviet Union.
.On Saturday it was a charred wreck: a morgue and a crime scene. A grief-stricken crowd gathered outside the burnt-out building, including relatives of the dead and the missing, seeking answers to what had become of their loved ones.
.They were parents, grandparents and bystanders, all united in shock and sorrow over the street battles that claimed 42 lives here in the Ukrainian port city of Odessa on Friday. At least 32 people died in the fire which engulfed this building after nightfall.
."There are 32 bodies inside. They are absolutely unrecognisable, simply black from head to foot. It will take at least two days to finish the investigative work here," said Moris Ibrahimov, a local man chosen by the crowd to cross the police cordon to witness the scene.
.The Odessa Massacre, as some are already calling it, was the greatest single loss of life in Ukraine's unrest since the revolution in February. It has brought the country closer to civil war than ever before.
.The chain of events that led up to the tragedy on Friday night is already a matter not only of debate, but of partisan loyalty.
. snip .Before they reached the stadium, however, witnesses said the march was attacked by men who appeared to be pro-Russian activists, sporting the black and orange ribbon of St George.
.The assault by the pro-Russians appears to have been planned. Witnesses and video footage show the attackers were well equipped for a street fight, with shields, helmets, sticks and body armour.
.But so, too, were the marchers. Once the clash started, casualties were almost inevitable.
