He wrote about this on his blog, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports, and former Russian senator from Crimea Andrei Sobolev wrote.
“I visited Chongar over the weekend. Our border with Ukraine. I won’t force it and publish photos from the scene of events, just two, random ones, but what I saw from our side made me despondent. This is what a parking lot and a public place (the only one) looks like,” the politician said.
“Gentlemen in charge of this facility, we have been saying for four years that Crimea should become a showcase of the Russian world. And what do guests from the mainland see from the very threshold? And what didn’t you bother to see? Tomorrow I will signal and ask these questions to management. I will definitely inform you about the results,” Sobolev promised.
