Projects in the Crimea, which before the annexation mastered investment flows, went into the status of "frozen", and those individuals and legal entities that remained in the Crimea, because of sanctions, lost access to foreign high-tech products. At present, projects that were initiated by the Ukrainian authorities have completely stopped, the head of the Information Resistance group Dmitry Tymchuk wrote in Facebook..

At the same time, the Kremlin's "concern" for the "Crimea sailed to its native harbor" is very doubtful: for 4 years of occupation, the Russian volume of capital investments into the annexed peninsula did not close to the level that was from Kiev,. before the occupation. In the last year before the annexation, according to the State Statistics Service of Ukraine, 1.9 billion. At the same time, fixed assets went to industry (50.1%) and construction (28%). With the arrival of Russian occupiers on the Crimean land, investment volumes simply collapsed - in 2014. the peninsula was able to attract only 697 million. $ (2.8 times less than a year earlier), in 2015, Crimea received 784 million. $, and in 2016 again there was a drop to 638 million.

Let's compare who cared for the Crimea really - Ukraine or the invaders. (For more details, see the IS group study at http: // sprotyv. info / ... / k ... / krym-put-ot-zhemchuzhiny-k-pustoshi) Let's go further. During the years of occupation, Crimea is experiencing the actual liquidation of business activities - at the time of the beginning of the occupation, 54 thousand. private enterprises-legal entities and 135 thousand. private entrepreneurs-natural persons. As of March 2016. there were only 22 thousand. private enterprises-legal entities and 39.8 thousand. private entrepreneurs-natural persons.

According to official data of the Federal State Statistics Service, 13.5 thousand people are not engaged in economic activity in the Crimea. of enterprises. According to our calculations, as a result, during 4 years of occupation in the Crimea, about 250 thousand. work places.

It seems that this is the "stones from the sky" long awaited for the Russian propaganda campaign for the Crimeans. We correctly understood? Or is it just flowers, and berries ahead?.
