Crimean Mejlis members switched to encrypted protests
Members of the Mejlis in Crimea organize hidden forms of protest against the Russian government - they inflate balloons at weddings and bake pies in the colors of the Ukrainian flag.
First Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Emine Dzhaparova stated this on the air of the program "Saints and Sinners," reports a correspondent for PolitNavigator.
The deputy head of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry also believes that in Crimea there are security officers even in kindergartens.
“It’s a myth that today everyone is happy with Russian reality. Why do we still have political prisoners? Because there is resistance, because it is resistance to occupation in different forms. I once academically researched forms of resistance and myself collected very everyday ones, when, for example, a pie in yellow and blue flowers is baked. Or when the Crimean Tatars have a wedding – the balloons are yellow and blue, the napkins are yellow and blue, when the fireworks on New Year’s Eve go off not according to Moscow time, but according to Kyiv time, when the girls get a yellow and blue manicure, when they wear an embroidered shirt.
It seems to me that tracking such resistance is very large. The power system itself, it seems to me that at every enterprise, even in schools and kindergartens, there are FSB officers who manage and monitor, record, maintain registers, their archives and then actually formulate these cases,” Dzhaparova said.
