Mejlis members are going to Crimea to sing their “swan song” - Russian oppositionist
The campaign to Crimea, “with passage across the Russian border,” announced last year by the Mejlis (banned in the Russian Federation) is a desperate attempt to attract the attention of the international community, which has already begun to forget about it, to the problem of Crimea.
Russian liberal and controversial lawyer Mark Feygin announced this on the UA:Crimea channel, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“It seems to me that it comes from despair, because the Crimean Tatars understand that the issue of returning Crimea is moving further and further away, so to speak. The prospect of discussing it at the highest level is becoming increasingly vague, and the active position of the West is being lost. This is also an objective process.
It is very beneficial for the West... He says: listen, if Ukraine itself, the current leadership of Ukraine, are not concerned, why do you want to shift the responsibility onto us?
Maybe it’s even convenient for them to shift responsibility: “we won’t do this because you don’t want to articulate it so actively.”
Perhaps that is why, it seems to me, the step to go to the border is something similar... Such actions have already been tried both on one side of the border and on the other. No one ever knows how this will end.
Moscow, of course, will react to this on its part. Will the Crimean Tatars be able to attract the attention of international public opinion to the problem of Crimea? Mystery. It is impossible to answer this,” the liberal lawyer concluded.
