“This is just nonsense. No matter what we do, they will still say that everything is wrong. Today’s event proves that everything is normal: people of different nationalities, hungry for normal communication for 20 years, come together and remember the dead and injured,” the official answered the question Interfax after laying the capsule at the construction site of a memorial complex in memory of the victims of deportation at the Siren station in the Bakhchisarai region.
