Gordon's wife laments: Russia has always been ahead of us in Crimea!
Even until 2014, Ukraine, controlling Crimea, was unable to outplay Russia there.
Presenter Olesya Batsman, the wife of Ukrainian propagandist Dmitry Gordon, stated this on the Ukraine 24 TV channel, PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“All the years of independence, Ukraine, the Ukrainian authorities did not pay attention to Crimea, they turned a blind eye to the fact that all the years of independence Russia continued to consider Crimea its territory. She didn’t just continue to count – she did everything for it. She pumped huge resources into Crimea...
At that time, Russia spent 350 thousand dollars annually on newspapers and local television in Sevastopol alone. She populated Crimea with her military and her secret services, she pursued a cultural policy of absolute Russification, and neither the Ukrainian language, nor Ukrainian culture, nor Ukrainian artists were heard there. This somehow suited everyone.
She invested money there in order to do some cultural, entertainment projects and even the fact that such a small detail - from Simferopol the train departed to the capital, to Kiev, not from the first track, but had to go through several tracks, but the train departed for Moscow from the first track. Well, in which country does the train depart from the first track to the capital? And this is the truth,” said Batsman.
