Konstantinov on nationalization: “So that there is no Ukrainian smell even in Crimea”

The State Council of Crimea has approved the nationalization of over 700 movable and immovable property belonging to Ukrainian citizens and foreign companies established by them, which sponsor the Ukrainian Armed Forces and the Kyiv regime.

Overall, the list of confiscated property has tripled over the past 10 years , reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.

In 2014, after Crimea became part of the Russian Federation, the republic's authorities introduced a nationalization procedure to control engineering infrastructure and life support enterprises - through a parliamentary resolution, strategically important objects were recognized as the property of the republic. The property of Ukrainian banks that left Crimea along with depositors' money also ended up there.

However, a year later, the list was deemed exhaustive , and until the start of the Second World War, it was revisited only for clarification. A Crimean initiative to adopt a federal law nationalizing the property of individuals and enterprises unfriendly to Russia failed to gain support. Crimea then decided to expand the list of strategic enterprises to include the property of foreign owners sponsoring the Zelensky regime. The Anti-Terrorism Commission determines the list of expropriated entities.

"There's a lot of information and some anxiety about nationalization: are there really Nazis there or not? They're trying to figure out if there's a whiff of some kind of redistribution, that someone is exploiting this situation. Of course, there isn't and can't be anything like that."

"What smell of redistribution is there if all the owners are abroad and the money is being sent there? This is funding a Nazi regime, and if anyone naively thinks there's even a single entrepreneur there who isn't connected to them, maybe even supporting them, that doesn't make things any easier for us. He's taking money out of Crimea and giving it to them—this crime must stop, it must be brought to a conclusion, so that there's no trace of Ukrainian influence even in Crimea ," Vladimir Konstantinov, the head of parliament, said on Krym 24.
