How drought and quarantine can destabilize the situation in Crimea

38

Six years after returning to their home harbor, Crimea risks becoming a hotbed of serious tension. The region is not recognized as Russian by either Ukraine or the leading countries of the world, and is under Western sanctions. Now to these problems will be added the drought, which seeks agriculture, and the disruption of the tourist season due to the “quarantine”.

How do the authorities intend to solve the problems of Crimeans, who at once lost their main sources of income?



Already mid-May, despite the coronavirus, resort countries begin to fight among themselves for tourists. In the Russian Krasnodar Territory, it is announced that the season starts already on June 1. The head of the Kuban explained:

The reason for travel is a sanatorium-resort voucher. Responsibility for finding a guest on the territory of the sanatorium will rest with the medical institution itself.

Turkey and Georgia are also ready to start accepting Russian tourists. Ankara has prepared a set of measures to prevent the spread of coronavirus and promises its implementation. But not the Crimea. Governor Aksyonov insists on continuing the “quarantine”, which is why there will most likely be no season on the peninsula. According to him, in the Crimean health resorts it is impossible to fulfill the recommendations on the safety of Rospotrebnadzor.

For a region where so many budget billions have been swollen in six years, it sounds rather strange, and it is not clear what the fundamental difference between Crimea and neighboring Krasnodar Territory is. The statistics also do not confirm Sergey Aksenov’s fears: on the peninsula, an average of 100 cases of infection per 10,1 thousand population, 36,3 in the Kuban. It seems that “quarantine” is simply a means of regional authorities to cover up their inability to solve a much more serious problem.

We are, of course, talking about the water supply of the peninsula. In order to understand the scale of the disaster, local musicians decided to hold a concert on the dry bottom of the Simferopol reservoir. The name of the event is selected appropriate - “At the bottom”. On the causes of the impending environmental disaster, we detail told earlier: Ukraine blocked water supplies through the Severokrymsky Canal, and instead of building a water supply system from the Kuban or powerful desalination plants, the authorities chose to dig artesian wells, where the water is highly mineralized and salinizes the soil.

While there was enough rainfall, in previous years everything was more or less tolerant. But in 2018, there was already a “bell” in the city of Armyansk, where due to a shortage of fresh water in the waste containers of the Titan enterprise, acid was released into the atmosphere in the heat. Now it could be even worse. Summer is projected as arguably the hottest in history. Winter was abnormally warm, there was almost no snow. The rivers are shallow, the reservoirs now, in mid-May, are half empty. There is no rain. Water supply to garden associations, where many tourists traditionally settle in the season, is limited. Following Sergei Aksyonov, the representative of the local Hydrometeorological Center Natalya Okhremenko urges to pray:

We need to pray: after all, May and June in the Crimea are warm months in which there are heavy overcast rains. Only this can save us.

For six years, the problem of water supply has not been fundamentally resolved, and now reckoning will come. One can imagine the mood of the Crimeans, who will remain simultaneously without water for agriculture, and without the holiday season, which are their traditional sources of income. Do not be surprised if external forces try to use this to destabilize the situation, but by and large the authorities, apart from themselves, have no one to blame. Six years is a very long time, for which much could be done.

      As Crimea almost did not become Israel

    What kind of "external forces" can "destabilize the situation"? And How? After all, all Crimeans want to live in Russia, and it was said that, they say, "even stones from the sky." So, this will not work for anyone. Crimeans will not allow anyone, even if they have to die of thirst .. It is better to die in the "native harbor" than to live with the damned Bandera! We must rely on Putin, Goblin and United Russia, and believe them, they know better what to do, they are fathers, they will not let the Crimean people die.

          As the editor-in-chief of Ekho Moskvy Venediktov said:

          There are no journalism or journalists in Ukraine. There are propagandists, also a very respected and necessary profession. But these are not journalists.

          You will not say that Venediktov is very fond of Russia and the Russians, Putin and the Kremlin?
          And you got so excited because you considered yourself "a fighter of the invisible ideological front", and even on the salary of the non-state Ukraine, but it turned out that everyone knows everything.
          It's a shame, yes?

    - Well, what can you do ...
    - There is a railway connection with Crimea ... - All that remains is to drive freight trains from "continental Russia" to Crimea with hundreds of trailer tanks (filled with fresh water) ...
    - Only here where to fill these tanks ... - after all, in Russia there is also a problem with fresh water ... - The Volga and the Volga are already very shallow ... - So, if anything, you have to take water from Siberia ... and fill...

    Crimea could make money on shipbuilding, because a warm climate allows you to do without covered hangars, and this is a profitable business and the Russian fleet needs to be seriously updated. This is not agriculture, it does not need much water. And it’s time for Ukraine to begin to bend, having begun the construction of branch channels to the Dnieper and the Volga, so that Russian water is to Russia's advantage, and not to the Bandera Dnieper ...

      So, to expand horizons - Russia gives less than a quarter of the Dnieper runoff. This is the first. And secondly, Belarus is located along the Dnieper between Russia and Ukraine. How will you negotiate with Lukashenko?

            What do we do on the territory of the Russian Federation, we will somehow decide for ourselves, without the Cunning one, and if he wants to continue to get nishtyaks from the Russian Federation, then he will have to turn his head on, otherwise it would painfully dissolve his tongue, I would not have to answer for the market ... And without money from Russia, he will not be president for long ... As far as what we will achieve and what will not, for starting the DNEPROGES turbine, UKROPs will have to twist their hands, gym hi to them ... I'm not talking about the fact that with a decrease in water level in the Dnieper ukroshumera will have problems with water supply, and with the environment, as the Dnieper shallows and bare t bottom, on which the amount of non-acidic any harmful deposits (effluent) since the time of the USSR. The wind will quickly take it all into the air ... let them sniff (health) them, the worst ...

              It is nothing more than your dreams. No one will ever cut Belarus off the Dnieper in any case, and Zhirinovsky, who voiced this “idea,” is nothing more than a pea buffoon. He already washed his boots in the Indian Ocean. And even if it was theoretically possible, this would not have a noticeable effect on the level of the Dnieper, as it was said that Russia gives less than a quarter of the Dnieper runoff plus it is regulated by a cascade of reservoirs.

                And where did you get the idea that without money from Russia, he will not be president for long? He will simply ask the West to “accept into its ranks” and deprive Russia of its only ally in the western direction. The population will not be opposed at all, since the political activity in Belarus is mainly shown by the “zmagars”, and they will only be “for” two hands.

                The pea jester will go against the public opinion of the Russian Federation, and will not remain in power for a long time, but it will always be against the Bandera beast, and the more Bandera will be impudent, the more negative and radical the attitude of the Russian Federation will be to them ... There are enough rivers in the Russian Federation that go straight to Ukraine, see the map, so Belarus matters, but it doesn’t steer ... The Dnieper will become shallow even by a quarter, start scratching it in the most indecent places, 25% is not 1,5% of the rating in Russia for Lvov alcoholic Grishka Yavlinsky ... Yes, with the fact that Belarus is already poor, and having lost the market in the Russian Federation nation from Russia, bread crumbs will start to count like Kyrgyzstan, or even worse ... The crafty RF is not an ally, but OBESHCHALKIN and DARMOED, and the West has not fed anyone yet, it’s not the RF, they milk it a lot and often forget to feed ... Look how the population of Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia has declined ... there is no work, no prospects, the country is in the .. with a black man, young people are fleeing, who is not going to return to where ... which means that they no longer pay taxes in their historical Motherland that only exacerbates the economic crisis .. Even in countries such as Romania, Bulgaria, Poland, entire cities are dying, due to the closure of production, mines, EU quotas for agriculture (by the way, because of this there are big problems in Greece) ... The population flees from cities wherever they go, or dies in poverty in them (old people, people with disabilities, those who cannot leave for some personal reasons). So, NATO RB will not feed ...

                  I went to Poland last year, I didn’t notice any extinction, I was there before that about 15 years ago, the changes are big and only for the better. I used to be in Romania and Bulgaria, people also live pretty well, I can even say that the average Eastern European is better than the Russian citizen, and significantly. This is about feeding the West. By the way, in Israel we have a lot of goods from the above countries. In the Baltics, the population declined, yes, but at the same time, oddly enough, the standard of living is again significantly higher than the Russian one. But for Lukashenko, the Russian “public opinion”, formed by the pro-Kremlin media, is up to one place. The main thing is that the absolute majority of the Belarusian people, when reorienting to the West, will be stoicly silent, and the “Zmagars” will applaud. For Russia, losing the western buffer is the worst thing that can happen in foreign policy, therefore Lukashenko was, is and will be, and Russia will not get anywhere from him. And the Crimean version will not work here. The nonsense about withdrawing the Dnieper will remain the nonsense of the court jester. By the way, for your information - the Ukrainian president is a Jew, which forever buried the Kremlin lie about Nazism in Ukraine. Yes, and the propaganda of Nazism is a criminal offense in Ukraine.

                    Well, a trip to tourist places and miners' towns, towns with a single city-forming enterprise, villages, these are two different things ... Well, don’t need to compare the capital and resort Bulgarians with Zakadny Russians, compare with the capital, or with the Sochi ... Lukashenko has no Bulgarian resorts and climate, so a break with Russia will turn Belarus into a poor Kyrgyzstan sooner than you think ... If you break with Russia, Belarus will get a civil war according to the Ukrainian scenario, there’s no doubt about that .. That’s hundreds of thousands dumped from impoverished RB to Paul shu and the Russian Federation, too, there is no doubt ... For the Russian Federation, a break with Lukav will only be beneficial, since the current illusions of Putin and the company that the Republic of Belarus will protect the Russian Federation in its direction in the event of a military conflict with the West can be expensive RF ... The crafty one will not fight for the Russian Federation, so it’s better to spend this money on the Russian Federation and its army than to feed him and his red and white Nazis !!! Well, the native Jewish grandmother doesn’t stop Tyagnibok from calling for the murder of Jews and Muscovites, so Zelensky’s Jewish roots aren’t an argument ... In addition, your Roland Gorukh from Mein Kampf Hitler differs only in name ... Only the Nazis could call themselves God's chosen people and the highest race!

                      Thank you, laughed :))) First of all, I have never heard this before - “Roland Gorukh” :))) Maybe, “Shulkhan Arukh”? Have you read it in the original? To broaden my horizons, I can tell you that this is just a set of rules of Jewish life from the early Middle Ages. An approximate analogue of "Domostroi". In Russia today they live by it? Wives beat, well, etc.? Or maybe we recall the Russian epics? For example, how Ilya Muromets his own daughter “stepped on one foot, pulled on the other”, “let go of the belly on the damp earth” ... What is it, Russian evil cruel moral hoopoes? And Israeli law has nothing to do with any religious books. It is built on the same principles as most Western ones. Yes, and may we be God's chosen, but you are God-bearing. You even have an extra chromosome, the minister himself said (I hope he didn’t mean trisomy in 21 pairs). About Tyagnibok even funnier - at least take an interest in what representation Tyagnibok has in the Rada. And the nonsense about the "Jewish grandmother", so this is a famous old Russian fun - to produce opponents into Jews. How much have I read such nonsense :))) They also come up with such names, venturers :))) So as not to go far - the same "Valtsman". But what, and the Russian leaders there too - Khrushchev, it turns out, Perlmuter, Brezhnev - Ganapolsky, even Putin that ... In fact, it turns out, Shalomov. Well, by mother - she was Shelomova, but her name was changed. You are funny ... And as for the Republic of Belarus - who will fight with whom there? The vast majority of the population is completely inert, well, approximately, like the Russian people in 1991, and “the Zmagars, as was said, will only applaud if Lukashenko decides to turn to the West. But for Russia it will be very bad to remove their bases from Belarus and remain surrounded on all sides.

                        As for the laws of Israel, even today you are harboring thieves, murderers and crooks from all over the world and from the Russian Federation including, you would be a Jew. And your Massad, in general, is a separate topic - a gang of terrorists in the service of Tel Aviv, killing all those who are objectionable without trial or investigation, although the court in The Hague, at the behest of the United States, to put it mildly, can hardly be called a court, but you don’t bother yourself with this show ... ... Jewish fascist Klitschko-Etinzon is considered by many of yours to be an Israeli boxer ... By the way, you armed Saakashvili, and he smashed the Jewish quarter to Tskhinvali with your weapon ... Of course, you can console yourself with the tale that all the Jews are from there for a long time left ... You for the grandmother and your own hang on the first bitch, it would be profitable .. What are you like, even Shakespeare showed in his work "The Merchant of Venice" ... Tell me, you lied ?! Tell me at least one country where there were no Jewish pogroms ... What, all bad, you alone are good ?! Maybe you need to change something in your behavior - haven't you thought about it ?! In Belarus, as well as in Ukraine, there are Natsiks with red and white flags of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and there is the eastern part of the country, where there are many Russians who are not on their way with the Westerners, here is the answer to your question ... Inert, this is still a relationship with the Russian Federation are not completely spoiled, there is money, they do not prohibit the Russian language and Luka is lying about friendship with the Russian Federation ... The money will run out, relations with the Russian Federation will deteriorate, the Russian language will be banned, more outspoken Nazis will come to power than Luka and that's it, this powder keg explodes ... The Russian Federation has no bases in the Republic of Belarus, except for the antediluvian Soviet missile attack warning station, and even that has long developed its resource and it is easier to build it anew, a new one, such as Voronezh, on the territory of the Russian Federation, than to patch up old stuff, and even pay it is a huge rent and depends on the whims of the Crafty Nazi. All the countries of the former USSR built their independence on Russophobia and this collective farmer is no exception ... He looks more and more like a stupid Yanukovych, but Rostov is not rubber and Putin is not eternal, and it is not a fact that the Russian Federation will save another rotten person ...

                        Well, thank you, I was pleased - as if I returned 40 years ago and read the newspaper Pravda about the Israeli military))) Such an exciting smell of naphthalene, there are still not enough Kukryniksy cartoons. I won’t even answer to Nazi stupidities (although think about why you have a constant screech about Russophobia in the media, they say why no one loves us, we are so good, tight-witted) :))) And about Rostov this is generally stupid, nobody will even blather against Old Man, and the zmagars will clap loudly if he plans reforms. Incidentally, the West fully accepts the right dictators into its society. An example is Tito. Under him, Yugoslavia flourished, although Tito ruled there for many years, and relations with the West were excellent. Well, he didn’t find a worthy successor for him, but Milosevic, the oak-headed national communist, came to power ... By the way, the Russian language is not banned in Ukraine, when I was in Poland, I stopped at the “prehistoric”, in Lviv, not far from it, and even I speak Ukrainian fluently, but I spoke mostly in Russian, and imagine, I had nothing for it :)))

                        We are talking about Russophobia regarding garbage that has the audacity to come to our Russia, behave defiantly with locals and still demand some rights for itself, while in their countries they deprived the Russians of these rights. Such behavior is unacceptable and will always meet the desire to expel VON, in any country of the World! Actually, I do not care that the Nazis do not like me in some kind of fascist Estonia, I don’t stuff into their lovers, we just don’t want them to come to our Russia with their hatred for us and our country! At the same time, I have nothing against foreigners coming to the Russian Federation from neutral states, in which they are neutral towards Russians ...... Making forecasts is an ungrateful thing, but I will do it anyway. After breaking up with the Russian Federation, the Cunning one will not remain in power for long and it is quite possible that he will end his life in exile, in prison, or on the block ... There are many in Belarus who want to hang Luka, and for the USA he is a dictator like Saddam ... Tito was lucky and Yugoslavia is not Belarus, there are no Russian and common borders with the Russian Federation, but Ceausescu was shot and then hanged with his wife, like Mussolini ... You don’t understand, Westerners speak Ukrainian with a characteristic accent, and foreigners and zapadentsy speak Russian uncleanly. If she comes like me and speaks purely, they will immediately pay attention to him ... By the way, the Donbass also has its own dialect, it is slightly different from other regions of Russia, although it is no more than Moscow from Vologda, a Westerner with immigrants from the Donbass, too, do not confuse.

                        Yes, I know the West Ukrainian “govіrku” well, and I own it myself, all the same “prehistoric”. And to distinguish who from where, too, I can unmistakably, well, of course, I am also familiar with the East Ukrainian surzhik. Moreover, in Lviv, if necessary, they speak Russian pretty well. If the villagers, then another thing, on the periphery they do not speak Russian there. As for Tito, it’s not a matter of luck, he simply pursued a very clever policy and was able to get along well with the West and maintained normal relations with the Eastern bloc. The trouble with Yugoslavia, as was said, is that no worthy successor was found. The stupid nationalist communist Milosevic came and behaved like an elephant in a china shop in such a multinational country. Well, it all ended naturally. Ceausescu is another matter, there the army was involved in a coup. But Lukashenko does not face anything like that, I am absolutely sure of that. In any case, Russia will hold on to Belarus, this is its western shield, and it will not work to remove the Old Man and establish a convenient regime, not that case. But the Americans are quite ready to forgive him for his totalitarian past with the right behavior. In Belarus itself, only zmagars are politically active, who do not have any more or less real support from the people, and the people themselves will never take any action against the authorities. As for Russophobia, anyone who has the courage to criticize Kremlin politics is automatically recorded as Russophobia, fascists, Nazis, etc. This can be seen in any semi-official media.

                        In Lviv, even during the Soviet Union, the Russians did not have a good attitude and the question - How to get somewhere, could easily remain silent, pretend that they do not understand Russian, or even put obscenities. The latter is most often from the older generation, the very Bandera shortcomings that Nikita Khrushch released from penal servitude .... fellow countrymen, after all, UKROPs ... and they stole the Crimea from Russia, and that they just didn’t ... the Russian Federation understands more and more that the countries of the former USSR are not a shield for her, as they are flirting with NATO more and more, and Two gods cannot be served ... The crafty one lives in a multinational Republic of Belarus and the east will not approve the campaign against Russia in the NATO camp there, just as it happened in Ukraine ... Luka is a dumb collective farmer who began to bite the hand of the Russian Federation, which all this time fed RB free oil, in unlimited quantities ... This was done under the promise of Luka to unite with Russia, and if there is no association, there will be no more money ... Luke also flirts with the Nazis, not banning their party, like Yanukovych ... In general, no smarter farmer Oleksandr the Cunning Vitki Yanukovsky ...... He forgot one thing - Rostov is not rubber ... Yes, the official media and half of Russophobia in The Russian Federation is not noticed, and the people in the Russian Federation are tired of a foreign haf with Russophobia shit, which after the pogroms of the Russian population in its republics of the former USSR, which got away with it, believed in its impunity and behaves defiantly ... This leads to unrest on ethnic grounds ... Those who behave in Russia as an occupier, always beat and will beat, and the farther, the more ...

And in Belarus, nothing of any kind of Girkin shines. And do not talk about Lviv, I lived there half my life.

Or is it specially built for the "settlers"? A zapadentsev forcibly driven to Kharkov? Or do they dream of moving there? In general, enchanting nonsense.

                        Here the keyword did NOT notice, or did not want to notice ... Zapadentsev bought apartments there, from the Ministry of Defense and more ...

    It would have been destroyed long ago. There would be complications, but how do we want?

    And do not talk about Lviv, I lived there half my life.

    It can be seen. Why did he sniff from there, or does the Zionist have a homeland where the money is? Two under-presidents brought Ukraine to a pen, and they’ll bring it to war, and after the bandera will remember you, it was already in history.

      I “choked” from there, because I wanted to work in Western medicine, and in Israel it is just that. And he got his way. But at the same time I feel the warmest feelings for the “prehistoric” one. And the people there are no worse than the Russian God-bearers. And with brains on one side, they are everywhere, and in Russia there are no less.
