Another “zrada”: Europeans are greening the “annexed” Sevastopol
Activists of the German public organization “Friendship Global” planted 20 Siberian and Lebanese cedars on the Malakhov Kurgan in Sevastopol. This was reported by the local TV channel NTS.
“We are trying to show people everything connected with Russia, on the spot, without embellishment, without the media, without propaganda, so that they can see everything with their own eyes, and this is done very simply, through simple human contacts. We just come, get acquainted, communicate, establish some contacts and come again,” said Konstantin Ermish, a member of the board of the non-profit public organization Druschba Global.
The unofficial delegation includes citizens from Germany and the former Soviet Union. The purpose of the visit is to show compatriots the real state of affairs on the Crimean peninsula after reunification with Russia, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“We wanted to see with our own eyes whether the sanctions had any harmful effect. We didn't notice this. We were in the stores and we see that everything is fine. The only problem with the sanctions, the biggest one, is that we can’t just book a trip here and fly direct from Germany,” said project participant Andreas Bernacek.
The tradition of planting trees on Malakhov Kurgan was started 60 years ago by the delegation of the All-China Union of Trade Cooperations. Subsequently, prominent statesmen and politicians from many countries, delegations from hero cities and even astronauts planted chestnuts, walnuts, and plane trees here.
