In Kyiv they dream of dealing with the Crimeans, like the Sudeten Germans in 45
Simferopol, January 23 (PolitNavigator, Evgeny Andreev) – Crimeans disloyal to Ukraine must share the fate of the Sudeten Germans, who were subjected to bloody repression and deportation in 1945.

Ukrainian diplomat and publicist Yuriy Shcherbak writes about this in the Kyiv newspaper Den.
“No matter how long it took - or fifty years, as in the case of the enslavement of the Baltic countries by the Soviet Union, or six months, as in the capture of Kuwait by Saddam Hussein - the law of historical justice-revenge worked inexorably,” the author argues.
In his opinion, the reunification of Crimea with Russia is similar to the policy of collecting German lands in the 30s:
“Since the annexation of Crimea is in many ways reminiscent of Germany’s seizure of the Sudetenland, it is worth recalling some details of this cautionary tale.
The German population of the Sudetenland, which was annexed into the territory of the Reich in 1938, amounted to more than three million people. 200 thousand Czechs and Jews were forced to leave the Sudetenland. Seven years later, in 1945, Czechoslovak President Eduard Beneš issued a series of famous decrees approved by the Big Three victorious states in Potsdam. According to Benes' decrees, persons of German nationality were deprived of Czechoslovak citizenship; a brutal expulsion of the Germans from the Sudetenland began, with heavy casualties, during which up to 20 thousand people were killed (Radio Praha, 25.07.2009/2,5/XNUMX). Leaving their homes and property, the former triumphers (there were XNUMX million of them) fled in panic from their homes, cursing Hitler, the victors, and Benes’ decrees. They just forgot to curse themselves,” the diplomat warns Crimeans.
And he offers the most severe, by Kyiv standards, punishment for Crimeans:
“Today it is difficult to imagine specific forms of returning Crimea to Ukraine - murderously violent or relatively peaceful - but there is no doubt that the act of historical punishment for Putin’s crimes will take place. Depriving Ukrainian citizenship of those who betrayed their Motherland seems quite legitimate.”
The Black Sea Fleet in Crimea must disappear as a concept:
“In geopolitical terms, the elimination of the militaristic Russian group in Crimea, which threatens the security of the Black Sea-Mediterranean region, will have a beneficial effect on the security situation in Europe,” Yuri Shcherbak is sure.
Kyiv dreams of dealing with the Crimeans like they did with the Sudeten Germans in 45.
