In Sevastopol, the symbol of Russia was destroyed “like Ukrainian fascists”
Residents of Sevastopol are publishing outraged reviews about the barbaric destruction of green spaces during the demolition of the Stalingrad market. So, during the dismantling of retail outlets, a tall birch tree was cut down - a rare tree for the Sevastopol climate.
“...The first thing that came to mind was: “Russia was killed in Sevastopol.” Agree that most of us associate the Motherland with the image of a clean, slender, chaste birch tree. What can I describe now, how beautiful she was, and whose caring hands managed to raise her in the hot Crimean climate?” – writes on Facebook local resident Ekaterina Vasilyeva.
Together with concerned citizens, Vasilyeva came to the site of the former market with a camera.
“A team of workers appeared. We were lucky: among them was the leader of these grandiose repair works. Simferopol residents are engaged in them. They were all polite, they even tried to tell us in detail about what had already been done and what was planned, and assured us that the damage to the trees (and more than one was cut down) was compensated. We said that we believe them, it’s necessary, it’s necessary. But we are concerned about the destruction of young, strong, healthy plants, which are worth their weight in gold in Sevastopol,” she says.
Regina Matveeva, who was the first to sound the alarm on social networks about the destruction of the birch tree, cites historical parallels.
“Since yesterday I have not lost the feeling that I am at a funeral, because they are killing the most precious thing - what gives us life, what gives us the strength to live - this is beauty. This birch tree, sawn like a young girl - look at its white trunk - is what is a symbol of our time. When I was a student, we were taught Old Church Slavonic by a wonderful teacher who walked all over Europe. He said that “there was nothing worse than ending up in the Carpathians, where Banderlog ruled.” “We went to the sawmill,” and remember this word, he told us, “dismemberment.” “There were pieces of bodies lying there, which the Ukrainian fascists sawed into pieces.” Now I experienced the same shock as our teacher experienced,” said Matveeva.
