If at a speed of 300 kilometers per hour stick your head out of the car, you can smile a little more than to the ears. The criminal case against those guilty of deporting the Crimean Tatars in 1944, which is already on the home stretch, is the same story. Very important and very fair deal. Bandits should be officially called bandits. And victims must be recognized as victims, including legally. But in fact, Yuriy Lutsenko can open such a Pandora's box that no one can predict the result, political scientist Kirill Sazonov writes on the portal zabeba.
The history of deportation of the Crimean Tatars is monstrous. At night, brave NKVD fighters (dyadovoyvali, yeah) broke into the houses and at best gave half an hour to gatherings. Disobedience - death. Many, by the way, were indignant. And they were killed right on the spot. Just imagine the situation for a moment if there is enough imagination. At night, you break into the house, frightened children in tears, the wife does not understand what is happening and you are given thirty minutes for collection. Yes, and what to collect?.
In 1944 there were no special riches for the Crimean Tatars. Gold bars, diamonds? You are not Deputy Minister of Economy under Yanukovych, to keep forty kilograms of gold. Children's clothes, warm clothes, products for a couple of days. And everything that you collect, you must carry in two hands. Because the wife needs to lead the children, and the grandfathers who fought in the NKVD will not help. They can shoot, they can take away something they like, and you will bear them yourself.. And then a freight car, no one will feed you on the road. And they will land in the naked steppes of Uzbekistan or Kazakhstan. Mortality, especially children, just went off scale. So there was no resettlement, but an attempt to kill a whole nation. And if you give this a legal assessment, then it's like killing. Okay, let's leave the story alone, let's move on to the practical consequences. Because they are very interesting.
So, the prosecutor's office and the court recognize the deportation is not just illegal, but a crime. What about the property? If in 1944 the bandits took the family's house from the family with a plot of land in the Crimea and illegally deported - who owns this house today? Logically - to the heirs of the person who was illegally taken away from him. Any court this chain of causes and effects will build very quickly. The site will have to return. Yes, his current owner can be in no way to blame and by law to be a bona fide purchaser, but from this the property rights of heirs of deported Tatars are not going anywhere. Any Ukrainian and European court will confirm this. The prosecutor's office collected a very serious.
You can build a luxurious five-star hotel on honestly allocated land of Yalta, but it turns out that the land already had a master. And we will have to find a compromise with him. Because the Ukrainian state for 25 years left from the solution of this problem, but after the court decision on the crime in the form of deportation, this option will close. And after the liberation of the Crimea we are waiting for a very interesting period of courts and the change of owners to the land of the peninsula. By the way, it would be great if all issues were resolved in the courts, but experience suggests that it will not do without shooting.
The most interesting thing is that the experience of returning property seized by the Soviet Union already exists and worked out to automatism. In the Baltic States, for example. The owners returned houses and plots that they had taken away during the occupation. That's only in Ukraine, such controversial points are not at all exhausted by the Crimea. If you take Lviv or Transcarpathia, then there is also a lot of "depressed" during the occupation of property. And direct heirs are alive. You can, of course, designate the position of the state as follows: In the Crimea, the property captured by criminals is returned to the owners, and nowhere else we return. But only lawyers will laugh for hours on this statement, and then in a few minutes in court it will be canceled. If necessary, in the European.
So, Yuriy Lutsenko decided. Deportation of Crimean Tatars is recognized as a crime not at the level of the state, namely in court. Accordingly, the victims of this crime and their heirs will receive a very simple legal right to return what they have been deprived of by state bandits. What will be further to predict is very difficult.
It seems that the Attorney General really opened the Pandora's box and no one knows what the whole story will end. My great-grandfather was dispossessed in the Poltava region and deported to Siberia. Now there is agroholding. We have something to talk with the owner? And how many more such stories in Ukraine? Million? Twenty millions? Zrada it or peremoga, it is impossible to predict. But it will not be boring, it's for sure. And with Lutsenko generally never bored. Just before, his humor was less massive ....
