On May 27 there was a picket in front of the Russian Embassy in Kiev in solidarity with the miners of Mezhdurechensk. There were different slogans such as "Today Kuzbas - tomorrow Donbas", "Freedom, Equality and Global Solidarity" and "Kremlin elite to work in the mines".
On May 9 there was an explosion in the "Raspadskaya" mine in Mezhdurecehensk in which almost 100 miners were killed. There is evidence that the catastrophe was caused by negligence. Mass protests broke out in the city and special forces were sent to the city to pacify the workers and citizens. Many solidarity demonstrations were held around Russia, Ukraine and in other countries.
