Kazarin Jr. told how Kyiv is draining the “yellow-blakit” youth of Crimea
In Crimea, there is a whole generation of young people who grew up under Ukraine, who do not perceive Russia, and it is with these people that Kyiv needs to work, journalist Pavel Kazarin, who left the peninsula for Ukraine, suggested on Radio Vesti.

“In Crimea, over 23 years, a whole generation grew up under Ukraine. It perceives the yellow-blakit flag as its own. It always supported Ukrainian football clubs and watched Ukrainian television. It grew up not perceiving Moscow as its capital; it perceives Kyiv as its capital. Official Kyiv is obliged to fight for this generation,” he said on Radio Vesti.
So far, Kazarin stated, Kyiv is not using its chance.
“Crimean applicants who wanted to enroll in Ukrainian universities this year faced a problem - the Ministry of Education required them to have a Ukrainian diploma, which they could not obtain in Crimea. Formally, the Ministry of Education prepared a way out, a loophole for them - they could register in schools on the mainland, go there, take exams, receive diplomas there... But we and our colleagues believed that a 15-16 year old teenager had to cross the border 5-6 times. But Crimea and Ukraine have no official communication; the border consists of queues, some cab drivers, etc. If we were talking about an adult, then similar expenses could be demanded from him to obtain a diploma. But we are talking about children. I spoke with representatives of the Ministry of Education, and they told me that they did everything correctly. But this is a question of “checker or go.” I lived in Crimea for 29 years and saw how Moscow allocated preferential places for Crimean applicants. Therefore, our Ministry of Education makes “checkers”, and the Russian one does “go”.
“It is now customary to blame pro-Ukrainian Crimeans, of whom there are many on the peninsula, for not resisting Russian troops, authorities, etc. Sorry, but there was a 20-strong group of Ukrainian troops in Crimea, not counting various kinds of law enforcement officers, special services, etc. And they didn’t protect Crimea. After this, it is naive to incite Crimeans to guerrilla warfare,” Kazarin concluded.
