Yalta Economic Forum. We wanted the best, but we got a goat farm
Do you know Ukrainian Crimea? Oh, you do not know Ukrainian Crimea! Peer into it. Soviet roads patched by modern Armenian brigades (“Tavrida” has not yet been built), clean air, not poisoned by factories and plants (because they are almost gone), local gas stations sell diluted gasoline, unknown on the “big land” banks are disconnected from Swift , and in stores, local goods prices are higher than prices for them in Rostov Pyaterochka ...
And in the midst of all this splendor stands “Mriya”, in which 3000 people all eat food together, calling their meeting “Yalta Economic Forum”.
The media, shouting over each other, are full of headlines, calling the forum “breakthrough” and surpassing all possible expectations. Although the forum did not have Mr. Gref, who from the stage would have announced the closure of all foreign branches of Sberbank, or rather, about transferring them to the cities and towns of Crimea.
On the contrary, the Greek Sberbank quietly collected its profits from the Crimean government, which paid for the rent owned by Sberbank Mriya for the duration of the forum, and then continued to improve its best workers on the Crimean coast, which does not have any of its branches.
Introductory
Back in the distant 2013, one Ukrainian newspaper, telling about the future 5-star hotel in the village of landslide, wrote that the construction was carried out by the Turkish company “Sembol insaat”, the customer was the Simferopol company “Garant-SV”, controlled by Sberbank of Russia, which in 2010 year bought pension "Mriya".
“Mriya” in Ukrainian means “dream”. So called a large transport aircraft An-225. Also the name “Mriya” was carried by a portable tape recorder of the Kiev factory and a portable radio-recorder, assembled in Dnepropetrovsk. Now this name bears the hotel "Resort and Spa" - the most expensive hotel in Crimea with presidential villas.
In 2018, the 4 Economic Forum was held at Mriya. Chairman of the organizing committee of the forum - the head of the Republic of Crimea Sergey Aksenov. According to the organizers, the forum was visited by 3000 people from 70 countries.
Participation in the forum and three-day accommodation in a “standard” room cost 130 000 rubles, for foreign guests - for free.
Yalta is better than Davos!
Andrei Nazarov, co-chairman of the organizing committee of the forum, solemnly concluded that international interest in the Yalta forum is growing higher than in the world forum in Davos, Switzerland.
Nazarov did not report on world-famous companies that had moved from the chairs of the Davos forum to Mriya chairs.
But he said that signing of agreements worth 150 billion rubles was expected. And only one of the projects planned at the forum has declassified. According to him, one of the big projects to be implemented following the results of the forum is the creation of a goat farm in the Crimea worth 6 billion rubles. Such is the innovation! Especially admires the value of the farm.
Opinion analyst: forums are congresses of sectarians and propagandists
Forum participant, Crimean analyst Dmitry Dervish spoke very harshly about such events.
These forums are an attempt to extend the resuscitation of those institutions that have died, are incapable and which could be honorably buried. Such forums can be compared with films about zombies: walking, staggering, ghouls, even, maybe, they want to eat, having gotten together in crowds, but they already have no goals, no ability to manage their own lives, and even more so, to rule the country around them.
In Russia, it is already time to decide: we are for the creation of a new effective and successful life in the country, or we want to lead a crowd of dead people who are marking time.
If you look at the results of the talkers of the previous forums, you can see that almost nothing is implemented.
It is ridiculous when they say that the result of the previous forums was the construction of the airport in Simferopol.
First, the new terminal was started up due to the crumbling runway and the modest size of the old airport, not modernized by Ukraine.
Secondly, the terminal became the “construction site of the century” along with the Crimean bridge. All this is Moscow’s attempts to create senses-catalysts for the new life of the Crimeans.
And thirdly, in 2016, the airport construction project was initiated by the state because of the increased passenger traffic to the Crimea, then conditionally commercial banks of the peninsula were pulled up to the project, which took half the cost, and in the 2 forum in Yalta they had to sign it in a demonstrative way.
Dmitry Dervish comments on the situation:
The inefficiency of the forum on the example of marina
At the economic forum in Yalta, the idea was sounded to create in the Crimea a yacht marina - parking for yachts traveling around the Black Sea. At the same time, not a single yachting expert was invited to the forum who would explain one secret using the example of Turkey.
Yachtsman from Evpatoria named Alexander told us the subtleties of this case.
So, what project of yacht marinas can be spoken on the forums, while the forum organizing committee, which consists entirely of officials, did not ask the Russian government whether it is possible to amend the legislation ?! Or did not show legislative initiative at the regional level?
One marina in the sea - not the case!
Another problem in the discussion of the project of yacht marina on the forum is a non-systemic vision. The essence of yachting is a journey from the marina to the marina, which differ from each other in their kitchens, art objects, music, museum complexes.
With regard to the Crimea, it is worthwhile to discuss the project at least 12 marines at a distance of 60-70 km (one refueling of the yacht on the motor). It's like with a sow, which can be farted only 10-12 piglets, but not one, as this is a deviation. But the forum participants discussed the creation of a yacht marina. In the singular. On a dedicated section for this.
The cost of building a single yacht complex - 100-120 million. Ideally, initiatives from investors from the Crimea, Bulgaria, Georgia, Abkhazia should have been heard at the forum, which would solemnly create a common fund for the construction of the Black Sea yacht marina network consisting of 40-50 complexes. But that did not happen.
I wish Mira Abkhazia proud!
By the way, about Abkhazia. At the 2-th Yalta Economic Forum in 2016, an agreement was signed between the Council of Ministers of the Republic of Crimea and the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Abkhazia in the framework of trade, economic, scientific, technical and humanitarian cooperation. There were no interesting projects under this agreement (except for the performances of Abkhaz dance groups in the Crimea) over the past two years.
At the 4-th Yalta forum in 2018, the delegation from Abkhazia visited a number of sites that are of great interest to the republic. The Deputy Minister of Economy of Abkhazia Zaur Gulia told about what exactly is interesting to the Abkhazians:
It turns out that the agreement on cooperation between the Crimea and Abkhazia signed at the forum before the last was a mere formality? And for two years now, two republics have only made contacts?
The main idea of the forums is to eat for free.
As one political analyst from Moscow said: “Do you think people come to the forum to decide something? And no. I will be noted now and will go to Massandra to drink the “Old Nectar”, and then to the mountains ... ”
Thus, the majority of forum participants are going to live, eat and rest “for free”. Initially, the forums thought differently.
Continuing the opinion of the Crimean analyst Dmitry Dervish:
As a conclusion
Large forums are designed to demonstrate the basic mainstream for the country. The Yalta Forum is a demonstration of Russia's knee-bending position before the West. “Look, we are ready to play according to your rules, we are ready to give you our resources, we are ready to live on your currency, we are open and available despite the sanctions that you impose on us! We are ready to put your interests above the interests of our citizens! ”
“This is nonsense - to talk about sanctions on the territory of Sberbank, which, due to fear of sanctions, is afraid to open branches in the Crimea!” - says our interlocutor from the Council of Ministers of Crimea, who asked not to call him in the article.
A representative of the Italian agrarian company Eddie Tomat, who came to the forum for important business contacts, sadly told us that with all the pomp of the organization of the forum and the abundance of delicious food in his region of Veneto, he was leaving without result.
The only joy of a foreign guest is that he does not need to pay an organizational fee (130 000 rubles, obligatory for Russians). This little discrimination of their own citizens is very indicative of the situation in Crimea. For the sake of the weight of reports about representatives of 70 countries visiting the forum, the Crimean authorities took the money to hold the forum in the pockets of Russian participants and taxpayers. Tricky move!
This is similar to updating asphalt along the route of the presidential motorcade, which is used by careless leaders of the Russian regions. If any event should have a result, then the main result of the YIEF is beautiful headlines in the media and ... the goat farm project.
Some kind of wrong Russia came to the Crimea and shared some wrong experience with local managers.
And in the midst of all this splendor stands “Mriya”, in which 3000 people all eat food together, calling their meeting “Yalta Economic Forum”.
The media, shouting over each other, are full of headlines, calling the forum “breakthrough” and surpassing all possible expectations.

Opinion analyst: forums are congresses of sectarians and propagandists
Flashmob ordered by forum organizers
Forum participant, Crimean analyst Dmitry Dervish spoke very harshly about such events.
“Forums in Russia are congresses, on the one hand, of propagandists, on the other hand, sectarians. Some say: “We are witnesses of the coming of Gaidar the Second”, while others supplement them: “We are carriers of the technologies of the late CPSU. We know how propaganda workers can force the hotel director to feed all conference participants. We know how, with the help of the local house of culture, to arrange the dances of friendship of peoples for the participants of the conference.
These forums are an attempt to extend the resuscitation of those institutions that have died, are incapable and which could be honorably buried. Such forums can be compared with films about zombies: walking, staggering, ghouls, even, maybe, they want to eat, having gotten together in crowds, but they already have no goals, no ability to manage their own lives, and even more so, to rule the country around them.

Dmitry Dervish comments on the situation:
“I believe that such ideas as a new airport are not born in the heads of the three thousand forum, but in the head of one manager and one financier. According to the theory of the crowd, the larger the team, the less it is capable of generating creative content, and even more so for its implementation. You can not conceive a child in a 3000 people crowd and you can not create a project in a crowd of 3000 people. Such forums can only ascribe to themselves such projects, and nothing more. Small creative teams are a synergy of a higher dream, and large crowds are a synergy of base, shameful desires (to steal, saw, get enough). ”
The inefficiency of the forum on the example of marina
At the economic forum in Yalta, the idea was sounded to create in the Crimea a yacht marina - parking for yachts traveling around the Black Sea. At the same time, not a single yachting expert was invited to the forum who would explain one secret using the example of Turkey.
Yachtsman from Evpatoria named Alexander told us the subtleties of this case.
“Do you know why in Turkey the project with marinas was built in 10 years, while in our country the same 10 years were spent discussing this project in forums? Because the Turks at first radically changed the maritime legislation, and afterwards the investors had already formed in a row. To now go to sea in Turkey, you need to make one call, and in Russia - 14 calls! In Turkey, it takes 1 a minute, but in Russia it can take two weeks! ”
So, what project of yacht marinas can be spoken on the forums, while the forum organizing committee, which consists entirely of officials, did not ask the Russian government whether it is possible to amend the legislation ?! Or did not show legislative initiative at the regional level?
One marina in the sea - not the case!

It's like with a sow, which can be farted only 10-12 piglets, but not one, as this is a deviation. But the forum participants discussed the creation of a yacht marina. In the singular. On a dedicated section for this.
An example of unsystematic: the project of the studio of A. Lebedev "Balaclava Marina"
The cost of building a single yacht complex - 100-120 million. Ideally, initiatives from investors from the Crimea, Bulgaria, Georgia, Abkhazia should have been heard at the forum, which would solemnly create a common fund for the construction of the Black Sea yacht marina network consisting of 40-50 complexes. But that did not happen.

“First of all, it concerns the development of the tourism industry, and Abkhazia has an interest in studying the successful experience of such economic projects. Using the platform provided by the forum, we also establish working contacts. ”
It turns out that the agreement on cooperation between the Crimea and Abkhazia signed at the forum before the last was a mere formality? And for two years now, two republics have only made contacts?
The main idea of the forums is to eat for free.
As one political analyst from Moscow said: “Do you think people come to the forum to decide something? And no. I will be noted now and will go to Massandra to drink the “Old Nectar”, and then to the mountains ... ”
Thus, the majority of forum participants are going to live, eat and rest “for free”. Initially, the forums thought differently.
Continuing the opinion of the Crimean analyst Dmitry Dervish:
“In my view, the forum is the so-called“ vanity fair ”, where men are dressed in tuxedos, women in expensive evening dresses, and baked quails are on the tables. Such a platform is a great opportunity to meet two business people, briefly try on plans for the future, exchange phone numbers in order to meet and discuss a specific matter after the forum.
But what I saw on the Yalta forum is very different from what was described. First, there were no people who need to meet. There are officials who lack any ideas. There are “wedding generals” who were invited for the status of the event. What would one yachtsman with one official or one “wedding general” talk about that decide nothing? He can only clap loudly at general sessions and eat heavily. Therefore, it’s not even a “vanity fair”, it’s a freebie fair. ”
