On February 20, 2014, eight busloads of people from Crimea, who had come into Ukraine's capital Kyiv and were holding signs there demonstrating in opposition to the "Maidan" movement, were violently attacked by Pravy Sektor people who were leading the Maidan movement; and those terrified Crimeans then scrambled back into their buses, which promptly sped southward, home toward Crimea.
An organization Ukraine Human Rights created and posted to the internet, on August 14, 2014, a 25-minute video, with English subtitles, telling these people's stories. It's titled The Pogrom of Korsun, and it reports, with testimony and some of the videos from survivors, the attacks against those buses when a gang of Ukraine's Right Sector members caught up with those escaping Crimeans, near the Ukrainian town of Korsun.
Private cellphone videos that were taken of these incidents were shown in the compilation by Ukraine Human Rights, but one other striking cellphone video, which was posted to youtube on August 15, 2014, isn't fully available anymore, and it showed the view from the rear seat of a car as it was approaching a blockage, and the blocked buses, some of which were aflame. A few car-drivers were standing watching at a distance, while the Right Sector people beat and killed Crimeans alongside their buses
