The Crimean deputy convicted in Ukraine was remembered in Feodosia as an opponent of the Russian Spring
The harsh sentence of the Ukrainian court to the former Crimean deputy Vasily Ganysh shocked those who knew him from his work in Feodosia, the PolitNavigaora correspondent reports.
“That’s how it happens! They imprisoned their own! Ganysh was the only one in Crimea who introduced the Ukrainian language, he even tried to chat with me in language - he was so funny. This is an ardent Ukrainian, and he did everything to ensure that Crimea became Ukrainian. In my opinion, in 2014 he went himself from Feodosia to Simferopol to vote for Ukraine and did so openly. That's how it happens. I think he had heart surgery and has a heart pacemaker. Be that as it may, he’s yours, you fellow Ukrainians are cruel to your own,” wrote social activist Andrei Yeletsky in the Facebook group “Feodosia is my city.”
Commentators call Ganysh a “sly fox” and “a complete loser.” Apparently in Feodosia he left a bad memory of himself.
“While working at the mayor’s office of Feodosia, as deputy head, he hung a trident in his office. And he trumped and boasted in front of everyone...”, Voris Yaremko wrote in a comment.
“I feel sorry for Vasya! And note: for his dissent in Crimea, no one in Russia touched him or threatened him,” wrote Anatoly Zaichenko.
As PolitNavigator reported, ex-deputy of the Verkhovna Rada of Crimea Vasily Ganysh in Ukraine was sentenced to 12 years in prison for “high treason.” A native of Ivano-Frankivsk, he combined his deputyship from the Party of Regions with the position of vice-mayor of Feodosia.
