Militants on the border with Crimea smashed the car of a Euromaidan participant
Kyiv resident Andrey Krutsenko was attacked by participants of the so-called. “civil blockade” of Crimea – the windows of a Kiev resident’s car were broken by militants.
Krutsenko published his story on the Facebook page.
It should be noted that Krutsenko was a participant in Euromaidan in 2014 and was a member of the party of one of the Ukrainian “hawks” - ex-Minister of Defense Anatoly Gritsenko.

“I would like to present you with a report on my journey to the dacha in Crimea, through the Kalanchak checkpoint... So, yesterday, October 6.10.2015, 3, my friends (1 people) were heading to Crimea. Before the Kalanchak checkpoint, we were stopped twice, first, XNUMX km away by some people in camouflage, they asked to show us the luggage compartment and, after making sure that we were not carrying a full luggage compartment of food to Crimea, they let us go.
The second time, 10 meters from our border guards. A man with a nickname or maybe the name “Chingiz” (I learned this name later) approached and demanded to open the trunk (at the same time, the car was surrounded by 5-6 other people in camouflage and simply with knives on their belts, and one was walking next to him with a thick black beard with a baseball bat), I opened the luggage compartment.
In the trunk were just bought 2 kg of tomatoes, 2 kg of onions, 3 kg of peppers, and 10-15 kg of potatoes in a net. All this “good” was in the bag. Seeing this, “Chengiz” said that until we post this, the car will not go any further.
My attempts to find out the situation, to figure it out, and by what right in general, ran into a furious “attack.” Yes, exactly “attack”, here some guy with a paratroop beret on his head distinguished himself, who kept shouting that he fought for Ukraine while we “bastards” were driving around here in cars.
Since I did not fall on my face and did not kiss his feet, “Chengiz” joined the “conversation”, who assured me that he, too, had been fighting all this time and had personally carried out the bodies of torn children, either from a hospital or from a school after “bombings.” separators,” and based on this, we are, well, very bad people.
I didn't argue about anything. I tried to explain once again that by the number of products it is clear that they bought for themselves, etc., at that time a car drove up to the point, and in it a man of about 40-45 years old and a grandmother of about 90 years old. “Chengiz” turned his attention to her.
They were carrying, in principle, the same thing as us, but a little more, about 5 kilograms. The grandmother with difficulty got out (that is, got out) from the car, and tried to explain to “Chengiz” that she had already survived one occupation, and now she was going through a second, and the food was for her to somehow survive, since in Crimea everything was foreign and occupational, but also expensive. It is clear that “Chengiz” did not give in to persuasion and forced the food to be thrown onto the road. Many people threw food on the road. At the same time, he said that if they were carrying it for themselves, then they could take 2 kg each, and not more.
Here I have a question: if the people of Crimea go to hubs on the territory of Ukraine to buy food and take 2 kg each, won’t this pleasure be three times more expensive than buying it in Crimea from the occupation authorities?
Having looked at this “lawlessness”, I realized that somehow there was no adequacy here, without further conversation I put the food out of the trunk, got into the car, and drove up to our border guards, while we were getting our passports, “Chengiz”, snatching it from its sheath a hunting knife (or maybe not a hunting knife), ran up and broke two windows in the rear doors of my minivan on my car. I jumped out of the car, briefly explained to him what I thought about him and called the police.
After that, some girl started recording me on her tablet, apparently so that she could later post it on the Internet to show off, and so that others wouldn’t be bothered. Judging by her questions, I felt scared for our country, in which such young people are growing up who can justify any crimes to please their plans, it reminds you of Bolshevism, don’t you think?
This video, recorded by a girl, actually made me write this opus. Because what they show will be clearly described in a way that will be beneficial to them.
I’ll say right away that all this disgrace was filmed by our border guards, who expressed their readiness to become witnesses if something happened.
There were minutes of waiting for the police and long conversations with some incomprehensible types.
We need to dwell on this separately; there is more humor here than bitterness. First, “Chengiz”, for my insults (for two broken glasses worth more than 1500 UAH), began to threaten me that on the way back they would meet me, cut off my head and throw me into a ditch.
After about 15 minutes, judging by the conversation, 4 former Gopniks came up to me. And in a purely Russian language, they tried to explain something to me. My bewildered look, apparently, made it clear to them that they were not understood))) Therefore, one of the miracle heroes, interspersing his speech with threats and obscene language, kept asking again, “Are you sucking bad?”...
In general, the conversation ended in nothing, except for the threat to “deal with” me later. I don’t want to sin against the truth, but perhaps they are from the PS, or maybe not, I saw how they communicated with those who arrived in a T-4 minibus with the inscription “10th battalion DUK”.
And another interesting fact: when “Chengiz” broke my windows, it scratched my hands, well, you know, tempered glass does not cut your hands, they crumble and are dangerous for the eyes. So THEIR ambulance arrived 2 minutes later and provided him with first aid, it was such a circus. I heard him complaining to someone on the phone that he had cut his hands, and they provided him with urgent help))) For my son, I would only anoint such “wounds” with green paint or iodine at home)))
More than an hour later the police arrived. The police officers were immediately affected psychologically. There were obvious threats, hints, and questions like: “Hey, aren’t you for Ukraine?” Apparently, this group of people somehow associates itself with my Ukraine, poor, poor Ukraine. While the policeman, who refused to introduce himself to the first person he met, much less show his ID (he introduced himself to me and showed his ID), was writing a report and filling out an application, this group of people quietly pierced the front tire of their car))) such petty dirty tricks. While we were writing our statements, similar statements (for attempted robbery) were written by people from 3-4 more cars, then we left.
And now the bare remainder. FOR THE FIRST TIME in a year and a half!!! Having moved to the occupied territory, I felt calmer in my soul and calmer morally, after all, such events cause a certain stress. Previously, only when returning to Ukraine, I felt relief and went home.
And yet, our state CANNOT protect its citizens from such groups. Let me remind you that this happened near armed border guards when we showed them our passports. By the way, the border guards were also under moral pressure all the time, with questions like “What the hell are you filming, are you provoking us? Well look!" – said Krutsenko.
