It is very difficult for me to discuss the actions of Alexei Anatolyevich Navalny *. He is a politician, besides, he does every useful movie that has become popular with the people, and I am a photographer and journalist, a politician, in general, not particularly involved, and between us is a long distance. Although, of course, and the cat can look at the king, respectively, and I can say something.

I, of course, followed the whole discussion about what would happen to the Crimea, if the government changes, Russia recognizes its error, repents and so on, and then presents this situation as if on the contrary. Well, suppose that residents of some bordering Russian region, for example, Belgorod, which borders Ukraine, or Karelia, which borders Finland, want to go to a neighboring country, publicly discuss it and declare a referendum within their region or republic.

Is this what the Russian state will say? The Russian state will quickly imbue them all with article 281 - "Public calls for actions aimed at violating the territorial integrity of the Russian Federation" and they will not even get a "dvuhschku", but the whole "pyaterochku", because this is currently the law of the Russian Federation.

Well, let's assume that the state will not pay attention to these separatists.

And what will the people say about them - well, the one that does not want to separate? What will they say? Yes, that's what: want to Finland - lose, suitcase, station, Suomi. Want to the neighboring country, in this your zhovto-blakitnuyu? Suitcase, railway station, Kharkov. That's what they will say. And no one will ever throw from the lord's shoulder: "Of course, go, take the guys with you, a piece of land with you, and go, if you so want, Russia will not lose anything from us, seventeen million square kilometers".

Why do we always face the fact that it is clear about Russia, what would it be, but what about Ukraine should everything be the other way around? As if Russia in this particular case will live by the law, and Ukraine in this particular case - does not have to live by its own laws.

If we are talking about law-abiding, about the rule of law in our life - that is, about what the people are secretly yearning for almost the entire territory of the former Soviet Union - then why exactly in this case can the law be broken? Well, there is no Ukrainian law, so that any area can take and separate in itself! And there is no such law that the whole country could vote for the secession of a region. I do not like? But the law is not written for everyone to like, but for everyone to observe it.

Returning to the moment that will come if Russia understands and recognizes that it committed an international crime, but at the same time, some people living on the peninsula will still want to be in Russia for various reasons, but it is in Russia, and not in the Crimea. So move, please. But then, probably, they somehow need help, if they want to move.

Both countries should help them, and not just - "wali!", Tie a suitcase on your back and go - it's also not the case. Because they are people, no matter what they do, and to behave with them must be humanly.

Maybe I just saw too many refugees and immigrants and, therefore, always with trembling concern any spontaneous movement to other countries and on my own territory. It's very, very painful..

* Alexei Navalny made a new statement on the "referendum" in the Crimea. In his opinion, the real will of the inhabitants of the peninsula is necessary, since the referendum held in 2014 was falsified.
