Crimean Tatars are happy with the annexation of the peninsula to Russia
Journalists from Rossiyskaya Gazeta visited Crimea to see how the peninsula is implementing the presidential decree “On measures for the rehabilitation of the Armenian, Bulgarian, Greek, Italian, Crimean Tatar and German peoples and state support for their revival and development".
The publication notes that 10 minutes from Simferopol on the Dubki-Mirnoye area you can see hundreds of houses already built and those under construction.
As the family of Dilyaver Alimov told RG, returning from Uzbekistan a quarter of a century ago, many Crimean Tatars huddled in rented apartments or were crowded into three families in one house.
“The matter moved forward only after the annexation of Crimea to Russia; a year ago I finally received a plot. Now I’m going to build a house and raise children in it. My daughter is already one year and eight months old. I would also like to raise my son. Maybe not just one,” Alimov said.
In turn, the mother of four children, Elvira Muratova, claims that her family began to build housing without waiting for the official allocation of a plot, since there was no other option to create living conditions in those years.
“The Ukrainian authorities did not hear us. Already living in a house we built ourselves, we asked for 10 years to be allowed to connect to the power supply networks. We used a generator and looked for alternative options for connecting to networks. It was very difficult. Can you imagine how to live without light with small children?” says Muratova.
Now her family has been officially allocated the land to use, and the energy supply company recently entered into temporary contracts with them.
“The Federal Target Program includes funds for 74 objects for the arrangement of places of compact residence,” says Lenur Abduramanov, Chairman of the State Committee for Interethnic Relations and Deported Citizens of the Republic of Crimea. – Today, 4355 plots have been allocated for individual housing construction. Mainly in the Simferopol region, where many of the “protest clearings” were located, and in Yevpatoria. This spring we plan to allocate another 1649 plots. People will receive land in the Simferopol region.”
In addition, in Crimea, rehabilitated people are provided not only with land plots, but also with apartments. Thus, in 2015–2017, apartments were issued to 460 families.
“Our land mass is multinational,” pensioner Lyudmila Chikarenko told RG. – Crimean Tatars, Russians, Greeks, and representatives of other nationalities live here. We don’t have any problems in interethnic relations.”
