He noted that “Russian Germans argue their return to Crimea by their unwillingness to put up with the destruction of family and Christian values in the West.”
According to Gempel, “Russian Germans and their descendants deported under Stalin and now living in the CIS countries also want to return to Crimea.”
For those returning, “if there is funds in the federal target program for the development of Crimea until 2020, it is planned to build a compact settlement in the village of Kolchugino near Simferopol, historical whose name is Kronental, ”the head of the community said.
“In our opinion, 168 families could claim state legal support for returning and settling here in the Crimea,” said Gempel.
