Monument to Boris Derevyanko (and de facto the longest trial in Ukrainian history)

As a growing number of Ukrainians are expressing their ire by way of protest at a 4-year suspended sentence for hooliganism handed down to Yuriy Krysin for his admitted role in the murder of journalist Vyacheslav Veremiy during Euromaidan in 2014, Odessa will witness the creation of a memorial to Boris Derevyanko, the assassinated editor-in-chief of Evening Odessa (Vechernaya Odessa).

The memorial will appear at Gvozdichny 3, where Mr Derevyanko lived prior to his assassination in August 1997, and marks a victory for the Odessa branch of the National Union of Journalists of Ukraine.
