Judushka Kazarin mourns from Kyiv: Crimea was left without language and pseudoscience
Immediately after the reunification of Crimea with Russia, the teaching of the Ukrainian language and history at the Tauride National University was abolished as unnecessary, and foreign teachers who appeared here in Ukrainian times were sent to their home in Turkey.
Vladimir Kazarin, who escaped from Crimea and retrained from a “professor-Pushkin scholar” into a champion of the ideas of Ukrainian independence, spoke about this on air on the Majlis TV channel “ATR,” a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“On March 18, the State Duma decided to admit Crimea to its composition. They came to our university smartly dressed and smart. The first thing they did was immediately close the Faculty of Ukrainian Language and Literature; it was completely cancelled. Moreover, at the Faculty of History, the Department of History of Ukraine was immediately closed. One of these people said that this is pseudoscience, because there is no such state.
As for the Crimean Tatar language and literature, the department of the Crimean Tatar language at our Tauride University was then subjected to extermination. Almost all the teachers of the Turkish department, sent from Turkey to work at the university, were expelled from Crimea back to Turkey,” he said.
As PolitNavigator reported, Kazarin previously was accused by his own colleagues in Kyiv of separatism after the publication of a scanned copy of his Russian passport, received in April 2014.
