Grave of Oles Busyna

On April 16, 2015, one day after the attack on politician Oleh Kalashnikov , Busyna was shot dead from a car near his home in central Kiev. He left a wife and daughter.

On April 19, 2015 he was buried in the Berkovetsky Cemetery.

Two days before Oles Busyna's murder, his personal information was published on the Mirotvorets website. The data of Oleh Kalashnikov were also published on Myrotvorets two days before his murder. Whether there is a connection with his murder is just as little known as the motive of the murderer. It was known that both Kalashnikov and Busina were to appear as witnesses in an investigation into the anti-Maidan protests in favor of the then state power.

On June 18, 2015, Arsen Avakov announced the arrest of two suspects, Andrij Medvedko and Denys Polishchuk. The two suspects, however, deny any involvement in the murder. Andrij Medvedko was released on May 23, 2016.

Reactions to his death

Busyna's murder is one of the streak of deaths of Ukrainian opposition activists in 2015. On the same day, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko condemned the apparent murders as “deliberate provocation”, which “poured oil on the mills of our enemies and destabilized the situation in Ukraine”. He called on his own authorities to conduct a "transparent investigation". Busyna's death was reported to Russian President Vladimir Putin during a live appearance at the TV clinic "Direct Line", whereupon he expressed his condolences to the families of the victims.

Several bookstores in Kiev are refusing to sell Oles Busyna's books.
