In Donetsk a gathering took place devoted to the anniversary of the tragedy in Bosse. Two years ago, Ukrainian fighters shelled the “Donetskgormash Plant” public transport bus stop in the Leninskoye district of Donetsk (citizens traditionally call this residential district Bosse — in memory of the first head of the plant). As a result of shelling, thirteen civilians died, and about twenty people were wounded.
Today thousands of inhabitants of the Republic gathered on the place of the tragedy to honor the memory of the dead. Participants of the mourning action laid flowers at a monument to the dead, which was opened on the first anniversary of the tragedy a year ago.
