You're reading: Ukraine Communists say house allegedly owned by party leader was attacked

Several unknown persons, who identified themselves as "Maidan self-defense soldiers", attacked a house which they thought belongs to Communist Party of Ukraine Chairman Petro Symonenko, the party said in a press release on Monday evening. 

“A group of young men, who identified themselves as Maidan self-defense soldiers, broke into the house which they thought is owned by Communist leader Petro Symonenko. Journalists, however, were not allowed to enter the house, and its CCTV servers were destroyed,” the party said.

These persons did not find “anything valuable or any incriminating materials” inside the house, and, “in order to hide the traces of their crime, the attackers have driven three cars packed with Molotov cocktails and plastic explosives to the building and are preparing to blow it up,” according to the press release.

The Communist Party press service declined to say whether or not this house is actually owned by Symonenko.
