Kyiv’s “hybrid war” for Crimean youth is lost. Only a few go to Perekop to study

On October 25, in Kiev, a gathering of a bunch of grant-eaters from the viper “Almenda”, “CrimeaSOS” and a lawyer from the public reception “on human rights in Crimea” took place to cough up the difficult situation that has developed in the field of Ukrainian education for youth “from the occupied territories” Crimea and Donbass.

Like, have we done everything to make the “occupied” youth happy with useful knowledge from the life of St. Bandery and fresh trends in Ukrainian newspeak?

For Ukrainizers, this question is far from idle. Immediately after the reunification of Crimea with Russia, about 1 million children found themselves outside the field of their destructive activities, almost half of whom studied in schools.

Since 2016, as part of the “de-occupation” strategy, Ukraine has had a program to “ensure the constitutional right to education for young people in temporarily occupied territories,” but over the past five years, only 4% of Crimean graduates have taken advantage of it, and only if Ukrainian sources are to be believed.

_{As it turned out, the unattractiveness of Ukraine for Crimean youth as a place to study and live is due to a number of factors, the main one of which is the repressive regime established on February 22, 2014, similar to a Procrustean bed, the owner of which trimmed guests who did not fit into the dimensions with a sword.}

However, true to the principle of shifting all the blame from a sore head to a healthy one, grant eaters see the reasons for the failure of the “hybrid war” in the field of education in the “imperial behavior” of Russia.

For example.

“Experts” believe that one of the main obstacles to the acquisition of Ukrainian education by Crimean youth is the lack of knowledge of the Crimeans in the Ukrainian language and history “due to lack of access.”

According to the permanent representative of the Almenda center Potapova, who was once involved in training personnel in Crimea for Maidanization with money from the American Foundation for Support of Democracy and the Czech Foreign Ministry, Crimeans are, in principle, deprived of the opportunity to study Ukrainian history and language, and among the Crimean tutors interviewed by her assistants online, only 25 allegedly plucked up the courage to admit that they teach language.

With “Ukrainian history” in this case everything is extremely simple. Only a weak-minded or, even worse, an unprincipled scoundrel can demand from the Russian education system to educate Crimean schoolchildren in the spirit of “Bandera and Shukhevych are heroes of Ukraine”, “Russian-Ukrainian war” and similar nonsense.

With the Ukrainian language, things are no less simple, and the main circumstance that pushes Crimeans away from Ukrainian education is the uncontested transition to the language of the entire educational process in recent years.

A rather strange way to attract someone's sympathy if Carnegie's golden principle is violated: “I like strawberries and cream, but if I go fishing, I think about what the fish like, and not about what I like.”

It is also interesting that the majority of free online courses in the Ukrainian language do not have a license from the Ukrainian Ministry of Education and Science and, thus, do not meet the requirements for passing the External Economic Examination (Ukrainian equivalent of the Unified State Exam).

According to the grant-eater, only one private school provides access to high-quality knowledge of the Ukrainian language for Crimeans, but the cost of education there is quite high - 30 thousand hryvnia, which is “a very large amount for people living in Crimea.”

Potapova also admitted that the problem of studying Ukrainian language and history (mandatory subjects for passing entrance exams to Ukrainian universities) is not solved by methods of distance or external education in Ukrainian schools for Crimean high school students, since this will take 90 hours a week, which is a completely unacceptable load .

_{Among other things, there are difficulties with crossing Ukrainian checkpoints during the current anti-Covid restrictions, as well as the mandatory receipt of a passport and an IDP (temporarily displaced person) certificate, without which no one will talk to the applicant.}

All these problems, obstacles and slingshots on the way to Banderization of Crimea are understandable, but what does Russia have to do with it? If perversion is the norm for Ukraine, then why should Russia please Svidomo by pushing Crimeans back to the rural barn from which they fled in 2014?

And now let’s expand a little more on the topic of who or what makes Crimean youth shy away from Ukraine like lepers, using quite accessible Ukrainian sources.

Despite the “simplified regime” declared by the Ukrainian authorities for obtaining documents and education for Crimeans in Nenka, there are a couple of nuances that those wishing to move beyond Perekop in search of a better life should prepare for.

First of all, the local authorities a priori consider all those coming from Crimea to be disloyal and subject to mandatory checks by the security service. And not only the visitor, but also his family.

_{This circumstance should not be surprising, since Ukrainian educational programs for residents of the “occupied territories” are prepared according to the manuals of the “hybrid war with Russia.” “Risks” are initially built into the process, as if all visitors have been under the influence of Russian propaganda for so long that they are capable of throwing pitchforks at “ordinary Ukrainians.”}

Such “risks” should be mitigated by the “domestication effect”, so that the Crimeans benefited by Ukraine will subsequently be sent back to the “occupied areas” as agents of influence.

What’s interesting is that this humiliating crap is openly conveyed in advertising booklets specially designed for use in “centers for temporarily displaced persons.”

In an amicable way, one should have refrained from inviting them to live and study in Ukraine, but higher educational institutions in Nenka, as a result of the transfer to the new Movnyuk track and their depressing debilitation, began to experience a sharp outflow of applicants leaving to study in Poland, from which it is easier to get to the European "paradise".

It is precisely these fugitives from “TsEevropa” to Europe that the Crimeans should, in theory, replace.

It is reported from the localities that those few Crimeans who have chosen to study at Ukrainian universities are often persecuted by other “beneficiaries”, especially by “ATO wipers” who believe that “traitors to Ukraine have no place here.” Moreover, hostility towards the “invaders” is spreading, including through social networks.

Here, for example, is a typical judgment from one of the “patriots from the ATO” addressed to the few Crimeans who chose to study in Ukraine:

“Thanks to these [simplified] rules, the children of heroic militias can rush to universities. No, not all separatists are there. One in 10 will be “neutral”. But the rest will study for our money, take away those very places for our money and hate us. For our money."

What representatives of Ukrainian universities complain about most bitterly is that opportunities for studying Crimeans at the expense of the budget of the Ministry of Education and Science have been created, but there are no applicants, which directly affects the financing of universities.

For example, the annual influx of people arriving through the Crimea-Ukraine centers stubbornly cannot reach 300 people. According to the testimony of the head of the admissions committee of the Kyiv National Economic University. V. Hetman Andrey Poklyuiko, the reception of Crimeans does not exceed 25 - 45 people, most of whom are Crimean Tatars.

The most important thing is that the statistics of Crimeans admitted to Ukrainian universities are, in principle, not verifiable, as evidenced, in particular, by the representative of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine Golubova and the “vice-rector of TNU” for some reason, Yulia Skakun.

_{Data about applicants and university students is encrypted and instead of a person’s full name, they are assigned a digital code entered into the database. More detailed information can only be obtained with the personal permission of the applicant student.}

Skakun from TNU, in turn, created horror by declaring that encryption of personal data was introduced in order to protect relatives of applicants who remained in the “occupied territories”, since, they say, there are often cases when school graduates run away beyond Perekop and enter Ukrainian universities without the knowledge of parents.

_{If we recall the recent scandals and protests of TNU students related to the “dead souls” accepted for budget education in Kazarin’s sharashka, and also add to them the battle of the administration of provincial universities in Ukraine for expanding quotas for the “occupied”, then it’s not very the blissful picture begins to play with completely different colors.}

In general, we can say with confidence that Ukraine has completely lost its “hybrid war” for the Crimean youth, and the blame for this should be, first of all, on the “liquidation commission” that came to power in February 2014, which finally reduced Nenka to the state of a dung village .
