        I am also happy for both Crimeans and Russians. For all of us it was a holiday, there is no more correct so HOLIDAY! Holiday of spring, Russian spring. We kept our eyes on the news, caught the slightest changes in the situation, empathized, helped with what we could, I no longer remember where the money was transferred, collected things and products. It was a real all-Russian holiday of the Russian spirit. It was Crimeans who showed in those days HOW to love their homeland! A deep bow to all participants in those events.
        But, against the background of the holiday, I will throw a fly in the ointment. Seeing what is happening in the Crimea and the Donbass, what kind of popular upsurge can cause a wave of people tied by a common goal, it seems to me that many of our powers that be were scared and further events in the Donbass only strengthened my confidence in this. Our power was frightened by the rise of the popular wave. Therefore, the Donbass began to crush, therefore, and I am more than sure not without the participation of our powers that be, they began to methodically knock out the leaders of the Donbass, Mozgovoy, Dryomov, Motorola, Givi and others. The authorities were afraid of their people and the authorities began to crush the Donbass. They were not allowed to crush the APU when they really could.
        What now? Why is Crimea still in Russia as a poor relative? No, it is, of course, the Crimean bridge, the Tauris highway, etc., BUT, where are the Russian banks in the Crimea? Is this our territory or not?
        In general, six years have passed, but questions remain. Yes, Putin has already made history by joining Crimea, if he hadn’t done it then it’s not known what would happen to Russia itself now. But now, what's next? And then we'll see ...
        Nevertheless all with a HOLIDAY! Crimeans, and patience and good luck to you, we are with you!

      We believed such a time would come
      We knew that the process would not be reversed.
      The glorious city of Sevastopol will return home
      The peninsula of Crimea will return to its native harbor.

      Ushakov was never forgotten here.
      They don’t just write history
      Crimea returned under the banner of the tricolor
      St. Andrew in the Black Sea Fleet flies the flag
      Prince Vladimir was baptized here
      He laid a new Russia in Chersonesos
      Once paid off wild peoples
      put an end to strife

      Catherine looked far
      I decided to the Russian fleet
      on the black sea to be
      Potemkin ordered by decree
      In Crimea, this city-fortress Sevastopol lay.

      Now we are charged with annexation
      and blame Putin for having seized a half-island
      Crimea has not been and will not be part of Ukraine
      And it clearly confirmed the referendum

      We are proud of the Russian President
      Great countries true he is a son
      Russia, he returned to its former glory
      Turned into a great power.

      Under him, everyone respected Russia
      The people of the whole earth, we bring peace to the world
      more than once we saved neighbors and Europe
      And if you need to save the whole world!
      love

      How the peninsula was returned to Russia literally "hot on the trail" was told by one of the members of the Committee of veterans of the Crimean intelligence services. This moment, for some reason, is not covered, although their role was colossal.

      Here is what I saw in Crimea in April 2014:
      I am in the Crimea and I can say one thing - EVERYONE with whom I spoke (relatives and friends) is sincerely glad that they finally became Russian citizens. And nothing scares them - they believe in the future and that finally they will live like normal people.
      I will not write about the assessment of what happened by the Crimeans, but I will give one simple example that gives an idea of ​​their moods.
      The Fresh retail chain is shutting down its chain in Crimea because the Ukrainian government has forbidden them to work there, and they are selling stocks in two currencies. Several cash offices accept hryvnia, and one works only for rubles, although pensions are already received in rubles with a 25% surcharge. Everyone gets rid of the hryvnia, and therefore there is practically no queue at the ruble cash desk. Some, especially elderly people, not seeing the announcement about this, want to pay in it for hryvnia, but the cashier explains that they have to go to another cashier. When I was with one local veteran, when he was told that the hryvnia at the box office did not accept with PRIDE he said - "I pay in Russian rubles!"
      Well, where in Russia can one see a person so sincerely proud of our money?

      As my wife said, we’ll remember the 14th year as the best we have in our lives (of course, from public life). Thanks to the people of Russia for not leaving their own.

      As the poet said:

      “... You are menacing in words - try in practice!
      Or the old hero, deceased on his bed,
      Unable to screw up your Izmail bayonet?
      Is the Russian tsar already powerless to speak?
      Or should we argue with Europe new?
      Il Russian weaned from victories?

      Or a little of us? Or from Perm to Tauris,
      From the Finnish cold rocks to the flaming Colchis,
      From the shocked Kremlin
      To the walls of immobile China,
      Shiny bristles,
      Will not the Russian land rise? ..
      So send us to us, Vitia,
      His angry sons:
      There is a place for them in the fields of Russia,
      Among the coffins that are alien to them .... "
