In January, Russia began to shake the theme of war. And since then, the mass departure of security officers and their families from the peninsula has begun. Mostly - those who after 2014 infiltrated the squeezed Ukrainian cities and towns. The escape was a secret and was noticed after the real estate portals sharply increased the offer of apartments for sale. Then the process of evicting apartments became avalanche-like, as the risks of the Great War came to the fore.

Already in the 20s of March, the situation changed and many objects were withdrawn from sale. The market froze and deals stopped. There are several reasons, but all of them are disappointing for the occupying country.

The most obvious are the devaluation of the ruble, rising depressions and currency restrictions caused by international sanctions against Russia. The apartment can be sold for rubles, but it is difficult or impossible to withdraw them from the account and convert them into dollars. In such circumstances, the sale seems absurd. At the same time, there were no people willing to buy almost free real estate. Because in conditions of economic collapse, an apartment or house in the occupied territories is perceived as a "garbage" asset.

Russia's online resources have filled out reports of urgent sales of apartments in the Crimea

Russia's online resources have filled reports of urgent sales in Simferopol, Yevpatoria, Yalta ... Fear of the most informed individuals of the Putin regime has caused panic in the market, knocking down prices to obscenity. In dollar terms, real estate was given for nothing. They are asking $ 31.5 thousand for a 1-room apartment in Simferopol, $ 37.5 thousand in Yevpatoria ...

The political factor is even more important. Ukraine's successful opposition to Russian aggression fuels panic in Crimea. "Crimea is empty, everyone is afraid of war, they think that Ukraine will attack and take away the peninsula. We are constantly intimidated by this. The streets are empty, free roads, no crowds in shops. there are dozens of such messages on Crimean forums.

Crimeans began to see, realizing that the peninsula is beginning to sail home from the pirate's "native harbor". At the same time, the majority of the population is not ready to actively oppose this. Because Putin's aggression destroyed the only attractive idea of ​​this temporarily occupied territory. It was that "at least they don't shoot" there, unlike other regions of Ukraine.

Other "Kremlin pollution" of the Crimean spring was blown up by the Russians during the eight years of the war. The former resort has become a military stronghold. Many public beaches are closed, many lands, in particular - the former private property of the Crimean people - "nationalized" in favor of the Ministry of Defense of Russia, Muscovites and St. Petersburg.

Crimea was systematically inhabited by inhabitants of the bottom from other depths of Russia, and a significant part of the locals - under various pretexts were sent in the opposite direction. This was facilitated by their basic residence in the Magadan region. As a result of such relocation, wealthy Russians associated with the Kremlin administration and the Russian security forces became the owners of much of the property on the peninsula. They were the first to hear the fear that forced them to sell their assets and take their families to the mainland.

Volleys of war intensified the panic. After all, the Russians were the first to throw traitors into battle, who changed the Ukrainian oath in 2014. Someone immediately fell into the hands of the Ukrainian judiciary, which had been patiently waiting for them for many years. However, the Crimean military is already under a tougher article. Many were less fortunate.

They either leaked to the peninsula in cellophane, or baked in the charred holds and rusty sides of the large landing ship "Saratov", epic burned in Berdyansk.

The collaborators who remained on the peninsula and the "liberators" who left Russia understand that after Putin's military defeat, the liberation movement will inevitably spread to Crimea. For Ukrainians, this is a matter of principle and the final point of Victory. Such an operation would become a reality in the event of the destruction of the Russian occupation group in the Azov region.

The sticky feeling of fear makes Crimean landowners fuss

After the return of Crimea, the prospects of local traitors and war criminals will be determined by a brochure entitled the Criminal Code of Ukraine, as well as documents from the Hague Tribunal. Therefore, it makes no sense for them to wait for everything to work out. Probably, they will have to fall from their "native harbor" in advance.

The sticky feeling of fear makes Crimean landowners fuss. In an attempt to avoid retribution, they dump marked land and real estate. The fact that they are afraid of the arrival of Ukraine confirms the focus of their marketing. Their ads are duplicated on Ukrainian portals, indicating the equivalent value in UAH. There are many proposals to exchange Crimean real estate for an apartment in Ukraine or sell for a ridiculous 500-700 thousand hryvnia.

The owners understand that their proposals are potentially interesting to Ukrainians who, after returning to the Crimea, may be able to re-register these apartments in the legal field of their state. Therefore, they are looking for ways to reach their target audiences, while ruthlessly dumping.

Instead, Ukraine needs to understand the nature of the fear of the occupying Crimean authorities. Both military and civilian. To oust them from there in advance, extinguishing the resistance. The so-called Crimean elites consist of invaders and collaborators. Their status is currently determined by the invalid legislation of the Russian Federation.

A little over a month ago, the slogan "Crimea is Ukraine" today is a call to action

After the military defeat of the Kremlin, they will lose even this conditional legal mechanism of protection. To avoid the status of war criminals, they will be forced to flee before the Ukrainians offer to occupy the occupying group. If this happens, we will return Crimea almost without a fight.

Realizing this, Ukraine must prepare accentuated blows. In the legal, informational and military spheres. We need to wait for our Hour-H. A little over a month ago, the slogan "Crimea is Ukraine" today is a call to action. For the Kremlin, it must become a flaming sword that terrifies him, binds his will and brings complete capitulation closer.
