Crimea and ex-Ukrainian/Black Sea regions integration into RF

Ukrainian business will lose 500 objects in Crimea - Parliament approved the list



The State Council of Crimea by absentee vote agreed on a list of objects subject to nationalization, since their owners are committing unfriendly actions against Russia.

The list includes 500 buildings, structures, land plots related to various enterprises and banks, tourist and sports infrastructure, said the head of the State Council Vladimir Konstantinov, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.

“The work of the anti-terrorist commission to identify the property of accomplices of the Kyiv regime in Crimea will continue. We will not allow those who sponsor the murders of our soldiers, crimes against Russian people, civilians to earn money on our land, ”he said in his Telegram channel.

The day before, Konstantinov specified that the property of 12 Ukrainian banks would be nationalized: Finance and Credit, Bank Forum, UkrSibbank, Imexbank, Piraeus Bank MKB, AB Express-Bank, Joint Stock Prominvest Bank ”, “Ukrainian Joint Stock Commercial Industrial Investment Bank”, “Ukrsotsbank”, “State Export-Import Bank of Ukraine”, “Nadra”, “MTB BANK”.

Also, the property of the Kyiv football club "Dynamo", including two land plots of 28 and 30 thousand square meters in the village of Ordzhonikidze, will become the property of the republic.

Recall that in 2003 the property complex of KFK "Start" in Ordzhonikidze was leased to the football club "Dynamo Kyiv" for 49 years. The Kyiv oligarch Grigory Surkis dreamed of making a sports and training base for his team in Ordzhonikidze with football fields, a 4-story hotel, a gym, swimming pools, etc. In exchange, he promised to extend a gas pipeline to the village. The plans were first pushed back by the financial crisis, then by the political one, and now the leased land has ended up in another state.

The Feodosia administration decided to play back and return 2.8 hectares near the sea to municipal property. But she lost the litigation, having deliberately taken the wrong position, stating “the use of the site for other purposes” as the basis. Whereas the land under the sports complex and the stadium in the village of Ordzhonikidze was put up for sale for 130 million rubles.

The new list of "dispossessed" includes ex-people's deputy Nestor Shufrych, oligarchs Renat Akhmetov and Igor Kolomoisky, although the latter has been "dispossessed" by the authorities since 2014, ex-Prime Minister of Ukraine Arseniy Yatsenyuk.

Villa "Elena" in Yalta, which is owned by Lithuanian citizen Kolas Igoris, will go into republican ownership, Lebanese businessman Rafik Daw Bulos (Akhmetov's partner) will lose his enterprise JSC "Stroydetal" in Feodosia.

Repair of the Crimean bridge is fully completed.

The Ministry of Transport announced that traffic is open on the second railway track.

The Minister of Transport of Crimea, Nikolay Lukashenko , said that it would take a maximum of several weeks to restore the Chongarsky bridge damaged as a result of the shelling. He stated this on the air of the Crimea 24 TV channel .

“If we take the full restoration of the bridge structure, that is, the span that is damaged, it will take a maximum of several weeks, since it is necessary to order the appropriate materials,” he said.

According to him, the issue of traffic along one of the lanes is currently being resolved.

Not the Crimea as such, but fits in with this topic

Restoration of Mariupol progress

From what I heard Azovstal is not going to continue operating. But Ilyich Steel will continue.

Beach season in Mariupol in full swing by now

Shame our lakes around St. Petersburg and the Gulf of Finland is still a little cold to swim in, although there should be plenty of people on the beaches.
As I heard the lakes and rivers are still too cold in Moscow too.
No such problem on the Sea of Azov though.

Please take into account that the so called "Abkhazian" are a population that came from North Caucasus a few hundreds years ago and that they were never the absolute majority of the population in Abkhazia.

More than 50 % of the inhabitants of that region before the war in the 90s were ethnic Georgians and almost the entirety of them was forced to leave (except for a few people near the border with the Georgian region of Samegrelo, like in Gali).

Basically a lot of mistakes were done in the 90s there and also atrocities from all sides (including torture and killing of the former (ethnic Georgian) governor of Abkhazia and the dissacration of corpses (i.e. militants playing football with human heads)

Possibly in the future an agreement with Georgia can be found, with maybe guarantees for both ethnic groups and sort of autonomous status within Georgia, with locally (in Abkhazia) both Georgian and Russian as official languages and having Abkhazian and Mingrelian as recognised regional languages

I would even add maybe some nice statues of Stalin and Beria in the middle of Sokhumi.

Of course this should be linked (like in the constitution) with removing the pro-eu and pro American direction of Georgia and the removal of all American labs and pro-eu and pro American NGO and the mantainment forever of the 2 large russian bases in Abkhazia.

The Abkhaz are related to the Circassian peoples further north (Cherkess, Abazins, Shapsugs, Kabardinians). All of them are among the oldest cultures in the Caucasus that have survived to this day

But I agree with finding a solution for Georgia and that Abkhazia one way or the other was part of Georgia for a very long time now. It seems to me that this is the way things are headed. But no-one in Abkhazia will be happy about it, despite how much their culture has borrowed from the Georgian one.

It will be interesting what route Mariupol goes in the future.
Heavy industry, lighter industry or tourism on its prime coastal slots.

Russia has thousands of ships it needs built and that is just civilian ships, and they need transport planes built and civilian airliners built and that is just the domestic market... there is the rest of the world that is sick of dealing with the US and the west in general and would love to buy Russian equipment, vehicles and vessels.

Africa is sick of the wests BS in particular... but China is recognising what dicks they are as well, and Asia and Central and South America always knew.

The more the west and the US tries to contain and isolate Russia the more the rest of the world will get sick of their BS and attempts to force them not to buy Russian and to buy western stuff instead... how does everyone think that is going to go?

However, if it is looking for tourists from further afield, Mariupol might need to decide if its focus in that coastal area will be tourism or industry.

Maybe ship building could be an option... or light aircraft construction or both?

A huge benefit of the situation is a fact, that entire sealine there is underdeveloped. There is hardly any infrastructure there.
Which is a great opportunity to construct a whole clusters of modern resorts from scratch.

Exactly... if you don't like the industrial views then move 10km down the coastline and create a settlement there... which will also solve the problem of locals having to put up with tourists... your workers could come from nearby areas to work in the tourist town and then go home at night to no all night parties and drunk idiots on holiday.

Most tourist towns love the money the tourists bring but usually end up hating the antics and BS they bring too... especially ignorant foreign tourists... who think everyone understands English as long as you should it loud enough and say it often enough.

Of course this should be linked (like in the constitution) with removing the pro-eu and pro American direction of Georgia and the removal of all American labs and pro-eu and pro American NGO and the mantainment forever of the 2 large russian bases in Abkhazia.

Which no Georgian political party will ever agree to...

But I agree with finding a solution for Georgia and that Abkhazia one way or the other was part of Georgia for a very long time now. It seems to me that this is the way things are headed. But no-one in Abkhazia will be happy about it, despite how much their culture has borrowed from the Georgian one.

There is no value in forcing people to live together if they don't want to, there will be no solution any time soon, but equally there is a lot of hostility on both sides so I doubt anyone on the street would be happy with any compromise anyway... no matter what the politicians decide.

If Odessa, Niko, Kherson, Zapo, Dnipro, Kharkov, Poltava are liberated, this pretty much the whole of the Ukrainian industry Yes it will need modernizing but a newly liberated population will want jobs, better infrastructure, better public services, and of course it will take time, but prospects with Russian integration is far more positive looking than staying with Ukraine.

There is the UXO clean up first...

Mariupol again. Not bad for a war-zone

ALAMO wrote:With the Azov becoming internal Russian sea, the tourism potential of the whole area is mindblowing. The coastline increased to the insane length, and what is more important - south is getting too hot for comfortable holidays. Temperatures in Turkey now can easily achieve 40 deg., which is simply unhealthy. Same applies to the south of Portugal, Spain, Sicily, Greek islands, Cyprus etc. Soon, tourism will move north.

Good luck with that. Azov sea is, basically, shallow brackish lake that is also pretty polluted due to decades of heavy industrial activity on its coast. Aside from locals, i fail to see anyone being ready to spend serious cash with Crimean coast next door. It is good enough as a waterway for export of Donbas industrial and agricultural products.

speaking about Azov sea, I saw an interview a couple of months about the future plans for the Azovstal plant, officials claimed that there are no plans to rebuild the plant, and instead, it will be developed into some kind of resort area.

But isn't this a waste of potential for this plant? I mean the industrial capacity this plant could offer Russia can be huge given its vast size. Unless Russia has enough industrial areas someplace else to take over its duties.

The plant is nearly totally trashed and is old infrastructure. May as well build a new plant in a better location instead of fixing this one. It will
improve the quality of life in the city.

The problem is the contamination in the sediments. That is what will take a very long time to flush out and not even completely.
The contamination deeper in the sediment is basically trapped there.

I suppose they could try to dredge some of the most contaminated areas which will temporarily reintroduce the contaminants into
the water column but as you point out the flow will flush this into the Black Sea.
