Sergei Mironov’s visit to Simferopol 10 мая 2014 Sergei Mironov, Chairman of political party A JUST RUSSIA and the leader of the State Duma party faction paid a working visit to Simferopol, an administrative center of the Republic of Crimea on May 10. A meeting with the active members of the party division recently created in the Republic of Crimea and headed by Alexander Terentyev, the RF State Duma deputy, was the first point of the program of Mr. Mironov’s visit. The parliamentarian met with the leaders of the Crimean public organizations in the office of the regional division of the party and exchanged opinions about the ways of development of Crimea and solution of its most urgent social problems. Later that day Sergei Mironov visited the Eternal Flame where he observed a minute of silence in tribute to the memory of the Crimeans who lost their lives in the Great Patriotic War and laid flowers and wreaths at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier together with the party activists. The parliamentarian communicated with the veterans who fought in the war and presented them with the gifts as a sign of gratitude for the Victory they won. In his address to the audience, Mr. Mironov emphasized that the Crimea celebrated the Victory Day in a calm and peaceful atmosphere. "Here, on the land of the Crimea, on these national holidays we are wholeheartedly with our brothers in the south-east of Ukraine who are fighting against the fascist scoundrels for their right to be human beings," the leader said. "We are in solidarity with the people fighting for their right to live as they wish. At present, the number of politicians in the world who become aware of what is actually going on in Ukraine is growing; they become conscious that it is the fascists who have risen to power in Ukraine. Russia has been doing its best to stop the bloodshed." "I am completely sure that sooner or later those who call themselves the authorities in Kiev will have to appear before an international tribunal similar to the Nurenberg trials, and they will be convicted for their crimes against humanity. It concerns the events in the east of Ukraine, and the one already called "the Odessa Khatyn", emphasized Sergei Mironov. The parliamentarian and Alexander Terentyev planted together two trees in honor of reunification of the Crimea with Russia. The trees planted in the oldest Botanical Garden of the Tavrichesky National University named after V.I. Vernadsky were given the symbolic names of "The Republic of the Crimea" and "Sevastopol". The politician also visited the place of the future installation of the monument to the Hero of the Soviet Union Vasily Margelov in the Gagarin park. In the second half of the day Sergei Mironov gave a press-conference where he answered the questions of the media representatives concerning the future elections in the Crimea. According to Sergei Mironov, party A JUST RUSSIA is going to take the most active part in the coming elections. He said that the A JUST Russia party members are sure about their victory in the elections to the State Council of the Republic of Crimea and are going to create their own faction there. The final point of the program of Sergei Mironov’s visit was a meeting with the people of Crimea attended by over 300 people from various parts of the peninsula who came to ask questions about their urgent problems that emerged after reunification of the Republic with Russia. Most of them concerned the issues of changes in the accountancy system, close of the local banks, shortage of water for the field irrigation and possible problems in the systems of education and healthcare of Crimea. Sergei Mironov promised to take under his personal control all the questions asked by the people of Crimea and assist in finding solutions to their problems in the nearest future. Upon completion of the meeting, the people of Crimea gave Mr. Mironov a gift – a book devoted to formation of the Republic since the oldest days till our times. The politician (in his turn) promised all the participants of the meeting to return to the peninsula again in the summer but this time to have a rest with his family.
