Riots In Kiev, Ukraine, 1995

Kiev, Ukraine, July 17, 1995 2 Deaths After the UNSO men and church clerics had defiantly buried Volodymyr in the sidewalk, riot police swarmed in, beating mourners and priests as well as paramilitaries. The attack, which injured 70 people, was the most public instance of politically related violence since Ukraine's independence. TV pictures of the assault horrified Ukrainians -- but Kuchma, who had been out of the country when it occurred, appeared to try to ignore the issue. Only after 10 days did he express regret for the violence, in a low-key statement issued as a press release. Kuchma "waited too long and said too little . . . to distance himself from this incident in the public mind," said Viktor Tkachuk, director of the Kiev-based Ukraina Press Agency.
